[Dx4win] DX4Win 6.x Questions

Thu, 29 Jan 2004 17:06:21 -0600

Question 1 and 2:  You can change them back the way they were, and I did.  I
would think a line would be difficult to implement and would allow less
spots for the same size window.
Question 3.  It is the priority of the spot and is not removable (although
the column can be made small)
Question 4. Check preferences and be sure it is pointing to the go list
directory under external data in preferences.
Question 6: Guess some of us have different opinions.  Since F2 is now used
for confirming a qso and Alt F2 is used for confirming an SWL qso, I
personally think it would be very confusing to have an Alt F2 do anything.
When I have a large stack of qsl cards and am using the F2 key to search and
mark many qsls at a setting, the present use of F2 is really nice and fast
to simplify what used to be a very tedious chore.

Since I normally only use the Mark QSLs for labels for DXCC as a global
marking, this works very well, but usually results in marking way too many
qsls if you don't do it very often.  I wish it would show me the redundant
ones and their qsl managers and let me pick the one or two to send, but it
is so MUCH better than manual methods, I doubt that a change to the software
would really benefit many people.

That said, Paul listens well, and then makes the decisions that he thinks
will help the most DXERS (buyers) and implements those changes.  I have
owned DX4WIN since it started and it is still the best DXCC program out
there.

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4Win 6.x Questions

I've just upgraded from W98SE to W2KPro and migrated DX4Win from 5.x to
6.x

Some questions re: DX4Win 6.x

1 - in the spots window, can I have lines between the spots?

2 - the default colors in the spot window seems to have changed... I
can't remember what they used to be... does anyboody remember.

3 - what's the meaning  of the number in the spot window and how can I
remove it?

4 - I can't get the GOLIST function to work. F3 in the callsign window
used to bring this up, but doesn't anymore.

5 - the tcp/ip connection. how can I get it to automatically log me in
to a specific site and perform functions (i.e., log in, sh/dx,
sh/users). I assume there's a script function possible, but am not sure
how to go it.

6 - the single use/choice for F2 key has been an issue for me. I spoke
with Paul about this at Dayton 2 years ago to no avail (although I
thought he was interested!).  My idea is that F2 is for "mark for label"
and Shift-F2 is for "confirmed"  -- I thought that would make sense, but
apparently it's still on the list.  Can anyone suggest a shortcut?

Thanks in advance,
