some things that come into my mind that I have found very inconvinient with
DX4WIN:

1. In Same Call window there could be RSTs shown or even better, the fields
could be selectable by the user. Now if somebody calls me and I enter his
call I can not view the RSTs from the old QSO without losing the data I have
entered into the QSO Window, unless I save it of course... Though, it would
be so nice to start off by saying that: Hi, You're much stronger today than
5 years ago when we had QSO... QSO notes would also be very good to see
instantly...

2. QSOs could be selectable from the Logbook Window like in any Windows
application. Now if I want to select a portion of a QSOs in a particular day
I find it very hard with the filter as it is not possible from 07.54 to
12.56 for example as I understand. So If I want to assign a group number to
500 contest QSOs in a particular day I have to go through those 100 non
Contest QSOs afterwards and change the group number back one by one
manually...

3. Multiple QSO operations are very limited. Have often had a need to change
e.g Date or Band or Full Hour or etc for a set of QSOs that are logged
incorrectly or for some other reason...and this has to be done manually one
by one!!

4. I would like to be able to change the spotting pattern that is created by
ALT+A. Current DX C F is not supported by many clusters. There could be
option of DX F C in the preferences...

I am not picking but maybe those notes are helpful in designing next
updates...

And maybe some of those things are acutally possible to solve now but I just
don't know how...please let me know then..
