Thanks Mac, when I do alt+s It backs up to the alt file not to disk? Art

Phil I agree with you. ALT+S regularly during operations is a very good
procedure.
Reading some olds messages about backup I found an trick: On Preferences,
QSO window options you can set where the  Secondary backup should save. I
choose Dropbox directory because it makes an automatic backup from all files
on it. It's free and works great. I recommend.

Hello Art

To avoid this problem, after each QSO I save my log by "ALT + S".

Objet: [Dx4win] save to file

I goofed yesterday I was working European stations on six meters . Had about
30 qsos and 20 new countries. I kept referring to the logbook to prevent
duplicates. I got tired and decided to stop.. I did not do a save to file at
exit and lost all the qsos. I think that when entering realtime qsos the
save to file should be automatic either at exit or with each qso. The
entries in the " logbook" missled me . The logbook apparently is a temporary
file until saved to file. Art w1rzf

[Dx4win] delete ADIF file!!!

2012-06-29 Thread Kostas Stamatis
While i was exporting an adif file i deleted by mistake the Adif choise. So 
the next time i tried to export an adi file this wasn't an option. In case 
you did this mistake, you should find an old copy of dx4win.iep file and put 
it in your save directory. I did it and all are ok agn. Maybe Paul should 
add a question "are you sure?" because someone must hit the delete key with 
is fat fingers...

Re: [Dx4win] save to file

2012-06-29 Thread Paul van der Eijk
Art,

There could be two backup files of your log:

1. c:\dx4w805\dx4win.dxb
copy this file to c:\dx4w805\save\test.dxl and see what you have

2. c:\dx4w805\save\w1rzf.~xl
Copy this file to c:\dx4w805\save\test2.dxl and see what you have

You must have missed the question to save your changes when you exited
the program.
