[Dx4win] confused about log file

[Kostas SV1DPI]

I think the best way to manage this (I assume that you want to work on 
the cq marathon award-contest), is to make it with selection tool.
Let's say you have your log. What you want is to see for award purposes 
only the qsos in 2015 and only these qsos count for an award and 
especially for dxcc. Follow these steps:
1. In QSO window go to Filter>Selection
2.Press Add
3.Where it writes "replace this name" write a new name. Let's say sv1dpi2015
4.In date filter box write the dates you need. First date: 1 jan 2015 
and Last Date: 31 dec 2015
5.Check the date filter box
6.Press Update
7. Press ok
Now you have to see only the qsos inside the dates you put. And if a new 
dxcc entity comes, it will be yellow.
If you need to see again all of your qsos, you need to go to 
Filter>Selection and in the Current Selection Box to select the "All 
QSOs" option. This way you can choose 2015 qsos again.
This solution is far better I think than to keep and backup 2 different 
logs.
Of course it would be better if there was a CQ Marathon mode somewhere, 
and only the new 2015 entities are yellow, and not the new bands. This 
way I could see if a new band or a new mode for my whole log is possible...
