Scott, I am not entirely sure, but I believe that Paul intended this to happen with merges. The reason is that stations do tend to operate mobile or from different counties and grids from time to time. So as a precaution, I assume he does not automatically fill those fields. When you are adding a new QSO, you are presumably looking at the entry and verifying the information before you save the QSO. When I look back into my log, there are many stations who have operated from different QTHs over the years. So I don't necessarily want DX4WIN assuming the county and grid. This is just a guess on my part. It is sometimes hard to know the mind of a programmer! Hi, hi
73, Dave, N4QS -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of (K7ZO) Scott Tuthill Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2014 10:18 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] County and Grid "Refill" There has been one behavior of DX4WIN that has irritated me for years so I thought I would finally post a note and see if anyone has figured it out. When I am logging in QSLs received I enter in the County, Grid, and First Name of the operator. Then, on a second QSL or QSO on the same card I have to reenter the County and Grid all over again while the first name gets "Refilled" on the record. I can't think of a time where I have ever had the County and Grid change between QSOs or QSL cards. Is there a way to have the County and Grid fields act like the name field and get "Refilled" as soon as one entry is made for that callsign? I looked through preferences but didn't see anything. Note that if I Add a new QSO with a callsign having County and Grid already entered then yes they get "Refilled". But if I merge a DX4WIN log into the existing log then the "Refill" does not occur. And this is the way I usually populate my log. I have a log for a contest which is exported from the contest software as ADIF. I then create a new DX4WIN log to make sure I have all the import parameter correct. Then I merge this new DX4WIN log into the existing master log. That way I minimize the risk of messing up the master log during the import process.
