[Dx4win] Duplicate QSO's - Import Crashes
There are times when there will be duplicate QSO's while importing, such as a state QSO party when a station is sitting on a county line. That station is entered twice to pick up each county mult. But when importing to DX4WIN, the import crashes due to 'duplicate QSOs', which they are not. Question: Why does DX4WIN stop an import due to a dupe? There should just be a question at that time. Continue with Import? This causes so much trouble as the 'dupes' have to be taken out of the ADIF file and then re-entered into DX4WIN manually. And they aren't even dupes... Needs a change or am I missing a checkbox somewhere? 73, Art W6KY __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Duplicate QSO's - Import Crashes
What version are you using? Version 8.05 will import duplicate QSO's from a QSO party log for stations on a county line. 73, Alan N5NA On 5/8/2011 2:22 AM, Art - W6KY wrote: There are times when there will be duplicate QSO's while importing, such as a state QSO party when a station is sitting on a county line.

Re: [Dx4win] eQsl, qsl confirmed download of .ADIF file
That IS the adif file and it's being rendered as text which is not surprising as it is text. Just select save page as and save it as whatever.adi The exact instructions will vary with browser and version, but you should be able to figure it out.

Re: [Dx4win] Duplicate QSO's - Import Crashes
Hi Art, I haven't tried your exact scenario but you might check the following: 1) Backup your log to a different name! 2) Go to Preferences - QSO - then check Show seconds in time I don't know if this only effects the visual display or if it alters what portion of the time gets used during date/time comparisons. 3) Go to Preferences - Import. Click the down arrow and select Show QSO information and ask This may or may not address your concern; depending on whether it logs questionable QSOs as separate QSOs or overwrites previous QSO with the current one. 73, Lee N7NU Art - W6KY w...@yahoo.com 5/8/2011 12:22 AM There are times when there will be duplicate QSO's while importing, such as a state QSO party when a station is sitting on a county line.

[Dx4win] New data updater delayed a few days
Sorry folks, the new data updater (features documented in release notes as v. 3.2) will be delayed a couple of days. Long story short, I re-wrote over half the program over the weekend (when I added -restore late last week, I did it about the worst way possible). Sunday afternoon I was down to the last routine, went to someone's house and cut my finger on a wine glass (and I don't even drink wine). Only five stitches but they are on my typing hand :-) One feature I implemented this weekend that I think you will like is that when updating with prompting, if the file has not changed, there will be no prompt, just a message saying you already have the latest version. In other words, you will only be prompted if the file on the web is newer. I also fixed the way that the DX4WIN.TCP (cluster nodes) database is updated (on the dxcluster.info web site), so even though the list may be updated several times a day, the updater will not have to update your copy EVERY TIME you run it. Thank you to everyone who has contributed documentation comments. I got a bit behind on making the changes, but I'll catch up when I can. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. typing the letter 'o' without use of one's ring finger is a pain (I get 'i' most of the time). Also a little tough to work to work the right mouse button. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
