[Dx4win] QSL label marking question

[ALAN ZACK]

Loren,
I am not exactly sure what you want to do.
The way I look for QSL's I need is to open the DXCC REPORTS window. That
gives me a list of all the DXCC Countries and a breakdown that shows which
band/mode I have worked/sent a QSL and am waiting/or confirmed. 
Example, for 3D2, Fuji, I have L in the 10 MHz column. That tells me I
logged a 3D2 on 10 MHz but have not yet send a card. (If it was a M it means
I sent a card but no reply yet). I then double click on the L and any and
all QSO's with only 3D2 on 10 MHz will open on the main log window. From
there I can choose if there is more than one which QSO I want to send a QSL.
I will consider how old the contact is, if there is a USA QSL Mgr or a well
known good DX QSL Mgr, etc. Another example, I have a M for 9J on 7 MHz.
When I double click on that M it takes me to a QSO with 9J2VB that I am
still waiting for a QSL from UA4WHX. So that tells me I should maybe do a
follow up with Vlad.
Hope this helps.

Bud,
No, that doesn't do it. 

Specifically - Lets say I have USA confirmed on 80M/CW but I have worked
3500 USA stations on 80M/CW. Since I have the band/mode confirmed I don't
want to blanket send out QSL cards. Using QSL --> Mark -->band/mode gets me
all 3500! I would have expected 0.
If I use the report generator I get the correct result of 0.

Now lets say I need Fiji on 80M/SSB and have worked Fiji 2 times on 80M/SSB
and have not sent cards. If I filter to just 3d2 80M/SSB the
QSL-->Mark-->band/mode they both get marked. If I have the same filter
selected but use the report generator I still get the same 2 calls marked.

So I can do what I want but the help menu lead me down the wrong path.

Loren,

If you set the filter for only unconfirmed QSOs, does that get you what you
want?

Hit F8 and then put an "N" in the CNFM box in the log entry window
(depending on whether you want to count LoTW and e-QSL, you may need to put
in 3 "N"s).  Then hit Enter.  That will select only the unconfirmed QSOs and
you can mark them for QSL.

Now that I have my log all in DX4WIN8.04 I see there are many QSOs that I
have not sent for needed bands or modes. So I went to set the QSL flag but
didn't want to touch each field manually. I can't get things to work the way
I would expect by following the help screen but I did find a way.

When I try (as the help screen states) "QSL --> Mark QSL" it wants to select
every QSO in the log, confirmed or not. Yikes! it's a good thing I read the
dialog box carefully. 

When I try "Reports --> Mark For QSL" it seams to work fine and mark only
those that are worked but not confirmed.

Do I have something set wrong, do I have some preference set wrong or is
this a bug?
