[Dx4win] Printing Label Directly on QSL Card
I am in the process of ordering new QSL cards and I would like to be able to print the DX4WIN label directly on the card. I found a few references to this in the archives, but I am having a couple of problems. One is getting the label to print in the correct spot (which, in my case, is the center of the card). I suspect it's just a matter of me playing around with things before I find the right location. The more serious issue is that the ink from my laser printer (HP P2015d) doesn't seem to want to stick to the QSL card. I'm using an inexpensive W4MPY stock card for the trials, but have also used a sample from the QSL Shop. I am wondering if there is a coating on these cards prohibiting the ink from adhering. The card also creates a paper jam if it is placed in the printer in an orientation perpendicular to the envelope feed direction. I'm interesting in hearing from anyone who has made this work.

[Dx4win] Failure of # increment in contest mode (CW)
I'm sure I am missing some important point but I can not get my QSO number to increment in contest mode. I have contest ON in QSO window. I have set date and starting number. In the macro box in the CW Keyboard window I have used the symbols %#. The number remains at 001. What am I missing?

[Dx4win] Window sizes
FWIW I have had some success making windows stay where I want them by making sure that I do a save of the file every time I make such a change. Do this even if you don't add any QSOs. ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
[Dx4win] Log File Not Being Updated
Whenever upgrading, I merge the .ini file from the previous version to the new version. However I found new log entries were going to the .dxl file located in the previous version folder and not to the upgraded version. As a work around, I uninstall and then reinstall the new version and not use the ini file from the previous version. This places new entries into the log dxl file in the upgraded version folder. Not being able to use the ini file from the previous version adds a lot of work to the upgrade process. I noticed this happening for at least the last four upgrades in the 7 series.

Re: [Dx4win] Log File Not Being Updated
I've had that happen in the past too. Whenever I upgrade I always go to FileInfo. From there you can see which log file is being used. If it's the one in the old directory, just close that log file by going to FileClose, then open the one in the new directory, FileOpen... 73, Alan N5NA Bud Governale, W3LL wrote: Whenever upgrading, I merge the .ini file from the previous version to the new version.

RE: [Dx4win] Printing Label Directly on QSL Card
Depends on the finish of the card stock. Those with the glossy or semi-glossy finish the ink will have a tough time sticking to the finish. The cards with a flat finish or I think they call it a matte finish I've had pretty good luck with the ink sticking.
