[Dx4win] Ver9 label editor

[Wayne M]

Hi ALL,

If you've followed my saga about labels, the answer turns out to be the 
ver9 DX4WIN label editor is broken.


I loaded up Version 805 and brought over the log from V9 and the editor 
works fine. I can now print Dymo labels as noted on Jim's DX4W web site.


I don't know how to get this custom label into V9 but will hope Paul 
finds a way to fix this in Ver9 DX4WIN.

If you make this feature available please make it an option in the preferences 
so it can be enabled or disabled.  Unless you can fix the way DX4WIN handles a 
radio not been present all the time.  While it might save one keystroke it will 
cause many putting out fires because a radio is not always switched on when 
booting DX4WIN because it can't handle no radio present without stopping the 
radio function, then it has to be started again.  Some logging programs handle 
this much better than DX4WIN and it isn't a problem but that is another story.

I echo K4WI’s request that an option  be provided in DX4WIN to avoid having to 
press F9 every time the program is started so the auto atu is set for the 
particular frequency and the program is ready for entering a QSO. I think this 
should be the default and should be fine for most people using the program. I 
find it a nuisance to have to press F9 every time I switch on my radio and the 
program before I can start operating.

[Dx4win] ver9

[Courtney Judd]

well finally got it all up and working as it should today! The problem 
that had me stumped for the last day was clicking on any pre-made 
message in MMTTY. The display in MMTTY showed the message being sent but 
the rig just didn't key up. I figured this was a PTT problem somewhere 
in DX4WIN, MMTTY or Microham Router. I changed a bunch of things but no 
luck. Swapped back and forth from 8.05 to 9 to see what was different. 
Set everything the same back to original before experimenting and still 
no luck. Still the same... worked great in 8.05 but would not send in 
ver9. AHH Ha!!! That's when I realized I had changed the messages in 
ver9 to be like the ones in 8.05. Guess what... there had to be a space 
between %X%M before the message IE: CQ|%X%M cq cq cq de k4wi%M%e 
instead of CQ|%X%Mcq cq cq de k4wi%M%e , added the space and works like 
before. Also discovered the %X... the X has to be in caps! So far 
pleased with the new version only think I could wish for is the 
having to hit F9 to change to real time logging prefer for it to 
open in real time! Thanks! 73's Cort K4WI

You don't need to open the license file.  Just copy it into the new
directory for ver 9.0  See Jim's upgrade tips below:

Subject: [Dx4win] Upgrade tips for 9.01 (quick start guide)

Here's a quick upgrade cheat sheet for 9.01.  There are two important parts:

*  Migrating your configuration (preferences) from the OLD to the NEW
version

*  Copying (not moving) your log file.  The file format will be changed when
it is read into DX4WIN 9.01.  If you change the old file and write it back,
then your old version of DX4WIN will not be able to read it.  *** READ THIS
SENTENCE A COUPLE OF TIMES SO YOU UNDERSTAND!!! ***

Here are the steps:

1.  Using your OLD version, go to File | Preferences.  Then File |
Write INI File.  The default name is DX4WIN.INI   *** remember where
this file is! ***

2.  Install 9.01 and start it.  It should come up with the default
configuration and a SAMPLE log.

3.  Follow the instructions you received with your license key.
DX4WIN cannot be running when you are installing the license key.

4.  Using the NEW version, go to File | Preferences.  Then File | Load
Configuration File.  Navigate to the file you wrote in step #1 above, it's
in your old DX4WIN SAVE directory.  Double-click on the file name, it should
be DX4WIN (or whatever you named it) and say "Configuration File" to the
right.

5.  Next, copy (don't move) your log file (.DXL) from your
old SAVE directory to your new SAVE directory.   Right-click on the
file in the old location and choose COPY (not CUT). Then navigate to the new
SAVE directory, right-click and choose PASTE.

*** The next step is VERY IMPORTANT ***

6.  Using the NEW version, go to File | Open Log File.  Click on the
down-arrow arrow next to "Look in...".  If the path is not the full path to
your DX4W901 SAVE directory, you must navigate there first.
When you see the .DXL file, double-click on it to open it.
DO NOT OPEN THE LOG FILE IN THE OLD LOCATION!!!


That's pretty much all you have to do.

Please post questions to the REFLECTOR, do not send me personal E-mail.  My
mailbox is already too full with messages that I don't have time to answer.

well, not going so good. Downloaded ver9, ordered upgrade, received zip file
with key and invoice. all ok so far. unzipped both invoice is ok, but
win 10 did not know how to open the key file so I selected notepad and
several hundred letters/numbers showed up and no instructions.  Somehow I
don't think this is right.  Any clue as to what is wrong? thanks, Cort K4WI
