[Dx4win] Filter Selection

Fri, 8 Mar 2002 10:34:30 +0100

Amazing that this mail came just few days after I decided to combine all my
logs into one, wich I call it by Master Log.
I have been now very busy the past four days with this, and my wife is not
so happy about it, hi...hi...

I  also noticed that besides the problems you wrote here, that also when
logging a new QSO, it will be on Alllogs, not in
the log " using filter selection ", It would be nice that when we are on the
filter selection that the QSO entered would be on this same log and not to
the Alllogs in my case Master log....

I also agree with Bob and Alan, this is really neat solution but still
missing some small things.

The solution in my case is not to have another log from a diferent DXCC into
my Master, but then is also the most of the point with the sytem gone. If
one wants to be able to tell the operator that we have had QSO on this and
that time with different calls, so will the price be paid for uncertain
spots comming in and don't really know if we have worked with our call or
another, like said before by Bob and Alan.

I hope this will be added in the next update, I still using the V5.01 and
have the V5.03 on disk waiting yet, I just don't think it is worth to try
update just now when I'm having my DX4WIM working very fine now, it takes
really a lot of time to make the updates work propely and neat, hi...hi....

So if someone have any comments to my mail please be kind to send us an
e-mail clearing my mind for what should I do with
this situation. I think this Log program is great, I have been using a lot
of others before, and still using one major one for contest, but whn it
comes to log it DX4WIN and no other one.

Thanks for all.
