Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 8.02 SAME CALL Window Advice

2010-04-22 Thread ALAN ZACK
For problem number 1 all I can suggest is enlarging the SAME CALL window
while you are performing the QSO checks for the same call. Just put the
cursor over the lower edge of the window and drag to enlarge it.

For problem number 2 the automatic pop up help can be turned off. The
function will still be available with a click of the right button of the
mouse when over the SAME CALL window.

BTW, I am still waiting for confirmation of a 160 mtr Baker County, OR, QSO
from Joe sent with my SASE with a GS enclosed.

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN 8.02 SAME CALL Window Advice

I just got done processing over 1,000 cards for NK7U as his QSL manager. 
This is the first batch of cards since upgrading to DX4WIN 8. There are 
still a couple of things about the SAME CALL Window that are driving me 
crazy and I wonder if anyone out there knows if there are fixes for these or

if they are in the works. Or, is there a way I can get this input to the 
DX4WIN team to seriously consider?

Anyone out there who processes many cards for a large log, and NK7U's is 
over 250,000 qso's, will run into the same problems.

The general problem is this. With a card in hand I enter the callsign into 
the Callsign field and then hit enter. This brings up all the QSO's with 
that station in the SAME CALL window so I can choose which one to confirm 
and set for a label in order to reply. The two issues are this.

1. DX4WIN automatically loads the OLDEST QSO into the QSO window and 
highlights the oldest QSO in the SAME CALL window and scrolls to the bottom 
of the qso list in that window. If the card is from a station with which we 
have had many QSO's, and all the QSO's can't be displayed in the SAME CALL 
window,  this means the QSO I need to select is off the top of the list and 
I have to scroll the whole list up to the more recent QSO's. Is there a way 
to have DX4WIN automatically load the NEWEST QSO and display the more recent

QSO's in the SAME CALL window.

2. When you start to move the cursor in the SAME CALL window a Pop Up Help 
is displayed saying Double-click to go to QSO. Though it disappears 
after a moment it often covers up the information, date and time, that I 
need to identify the correct QSO. Though the help is probably helpful for an

occasional user it is a nuisance after you have seen it 25 times, not to 
mention 1000 times. Is there a way to turn this on and off? [As a comparison

the DX Spots window does not have the same Pop Up Help. It is just common 
usage that you double click on the spot to load it into the QSO window. Why 
does the SAME CALL window have to have this help. It has been there for many

versions now, I had hoped this issue would have been worked on by now.]

Thanks everyone for your help.
