Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Deleted Checked status data following upgrade

2017-10-31 Thread Mike Rhodes 

Don,
  Assuming you are using WSJT-X and you still have the complete WSJT-X 
adif log, you could delete the existing FT8 Qs (AFTER a backup) and 
import from the WSJT-X adif file.

version 8….. and FWIW, in my case, the only reason that I upgraded to version 9

I had logged about 1000 FT8 QSOs using version 7 ….. and had been substituting

Thanks to Paul for the prompt response to my dilemma… I’m a happy camper.

None of the beta testers noticed this because we all started from 8.05 logs

I assume this will be fixed in a future update.

[Dx4win] DXCC Deleted Checked status data following upgrade

2017-10-30 Thread Don Butler 
I have just upgraded from version 7 to version 9 (specifically version 7.07 to 
version 9.01) … After opening my version 7 logfile (which had been copied to 
the “Save” folder in the newly installed version 9) all DXCC checked status 
data seems to have been deleted .

It was my understanding that the old logfile would be converted to version 9 
compatibility by simply copying it into the new “save” folder prior to program 
launch ….. as far as I can tell everything converted satisfactorily except for 
all of those very important award status fields …. in my case I am missing 
those “C”s from well over 3000 QSOs! 

I do have the old version 7 logfile saved in a few secure locations of course  
…. 

I must have overlooked something very simple?   …. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Don, N5LZ
