[Dx4win] Vers. 6.02

[Stefano Cipriani]

Hi Paul,
Can You modify the V.603 to fix these problems?

>- 1st -

Just installed V.602 and migrated ".INI" file from my V.503.
On it there are a couple of labeled items about the "custom 1 and 2" label
definitions, as you can see:

[CustLab1]
LabelID=Custom1
Metric=1
SpacingTop=0.039
SpacingLeft=0.039
SpacingHeight=1.169
SpacingWidth=2.756
LabelHeight=1.091
LabelWidth=2.717
RightShift=0.000
DownShift=0.000
PageWidth=8.268
PageHeight=12.028
NumAcross=3
NumDown=10
PaperName=Custom
Portrait=1

[CustLab2]
LabelID=Custom2
Metric=1
SpacingTop=0.787
SpacingLeft=0.315
SpacingHeight=3.189
SpacingWidth=3.327
LabelHeight=3.110
LabelWidth=3.307
RightShift=0.000
DownShift=0.000
PageWidth=4.134
PageHeight=5.315
NumAcross=1
NumDown=1
PaperName=Custom
Portrait=1

After merging the .ini file, all the "custom" label fields are setting to
"zero", and I must insert all the custom label definitions manually.
I already made You aware of this problem also on V.503

Editing Custom Labels:
The "MaxQSO" size field is common to both custom1 and custom2 labels record.
Changing the custom1 label value You change also the custom2 label value and
viceversa.
But I need to set the Custom1 to 3 max qso, and the Custom2 to max 10 qso or
more (printing directly on the card).
I'm very disappointed to change this datum all the time when I change label
size!
I already made You aware of this problem also on V.503

>- 3rd -

Accessing to R.A.C.:
When I press F3 to read the RAC info, I can read the data correctly.
But switching to other qso, the RAC window rest inactive, showing the
previus data.
I must press F3 any time I want a new info. (Very tedious!!)
On V.503 it runs well, showing itself a new info on any new qso selected.

>- 4th -

In V.602 the SSB reports changed to 3 digits - I am not happy about it. I
have never used 3 and I wish there was a small radio button in preferences
that allowed me to pick either 2 or 3 digits. Better yet the 3rd digit of
the report could be listed under DISABLED FIELDS!!
(requested also by tonno/es5tv).

>- 5th -

Manager database:
After an importing qsl manager file (.txt), I found wrong dates on its
database!!
Urgent to fix!!!!!!!

>- 6th -

Filter selection:
As qsl manager I appreciate very much the dx4win facility to load several
logs on the same file, selecting each time the one to up to date.
Unfortunately sometimes (adding, merging or importing new qsos) I have a
mishop, because I forget to change the "PREFERENCE|QSO|GROUP|#" after making
the
"QSO|FILTER|SELECTION" of the specified log group (for instance the #5).
The result is that all qsos I want added on the selected log #5 are added on
the log #1 (as predisposed on "FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO|GROUP|#"), with hard
problems to restore the right situation (re-install
the backup file and repeat the qso adding).
I should like that the "QSO|GROUP|#" in the "QSO" window have an automatic
change, according to the "QSO|FILTER|SELECTION" activated.
In fact, if I select a specified group, I want to work on it only!!!
Why not improve an automatic "QSO|GROUP|#" change, in presence of the
"QSO|FILTER|SELECTION" switched NOT ZERO?
In short, I should like the "QSO|GROUP" will be fixed:
- equal to "PREFERENCE|DEFAULT FOR NEW QSO|GROUP" if the "FILTER|SELECTION"
is not activated (set to zero).
- equal to "FILTER|SELECTION|#" if the "FILTER|SELECTION" is activated (not
zero).

Only few lines of code needed, I think, as:
""""""""""""""""""""
IF ["QSO|FILTER|SELECTION"] == 0

      ["QSO|GROUP|#"] == ["FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO|GROUP|#"]

ELSE  ["QSO|GROUP|#"] == ["QSO|FILTER|SELECTION|#"]

ENDIF
""""""""""""""""""""
I already made You aware of this problem also on V.503

>- 7th -

When importing QSL Managers or Managers' Addresses would like to see
which entries were changed!! Not just Replaced 55 and Added 32. There could
be messages the same way as when merging CTY files! (Maybe I need to restore
some data!!)
(requested also by tonno/es5tv).


That is all for the moment..... I'm testing....
I hope it is of help!
Ciao         Steve
