Is this a bug in 7.03?
Hi Rick and group, I think I know why this broke, but it should not have. Remember, I did not write the code, so I can only speculate. I asked Paul to solve the following problem: - you export a log to .DXQ format - you import that .DXQ file into an empty log If the original log had the Upload flag CLEAR, 7.02 would SET the flag in the new log. This is not how I believe that DXQ import/export should have worked. The newly imported log should exactly match the previous log, in other words, exporting then importing DXQ should be a "lossless" ("gainless"?) transformation - no data should be added or removed (changed). So Paul changed this in 7.03. However, he might have changed "importing log sets upload flag" for all cases, instead of just the .DXQ case (where it should get the upload flag from the .DXQ file itself). There is a way to work around this problem. Labels -> Set Upload Flag will set the upload flag for any QSOs in your log that have not previously been exported for LoTW. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/0, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jun 12 13:02:11 2007 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ON4AOI) Date: Tue Jun 12 13:06:38 2007 Subject: [Dx4win] import contest log and then upload to LOTW using 7.03?
