[Dx4win] Importing WXJT-X ADI file into DX4WIN V9?

Thu Apr 5 14:07:32 EDT 2018

Dennis,

I just tried John's (K9EL) method of saving the WSJT-X shortcut to the save folder...works slick.

I'm running W10 Home, and DX4WIN 904.

Dennis, KF0QR

John,

I’m running Windows 10 Home and it looks like Home doesn’t let you execute the mklink command?

You can also navigate to the WSJT-X adi file, create a shortcut and then move that shortcut to your DX4Win SAVE folder.

>From his email:
I got tired of navigating to the WSJT-X directory every time I wanted to import my WSJT-X log into DX4WIN.  Fortunately, Windows 10 has a solution.  The idea is to create a symbolic link in your SAVE directory that points to the WSJT-X log directory.  The full instructions for creating symbolic links are here:

    https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-
symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

Here's the quick start:

1.  Start by opening a Command Prompt in Administrator mode.  From the Start menu, find "Windows System" and right-click on "Command Prompt'.
Follow the "More" link and then click "Run as Administrator".

2.  Determine the location of your WSJT-X log directory.  Here is one way:

    cd %localappdata%
    C:
    dir

    You should see a WSJT-X directory there.  The full path should look something like this:

    C:\Users\jjrei\AppData\Local\WSJT-X

3.  Now determine the location of your DX4WIN SAVE directory.  Mine is here:

    E:\dx4w903\save

4.  "cd" into your DX4WIN save directory:

    cd E:\dx4w903\save
    E:

5.  Finally, create the link.  Here is the command I used:

    E:\dx4w903\save> mklink /D WSJT-X C:\Users\jjrei\AppData\Local\WSJT-X

    (do not type the part *before* the >, only the part beginning with "mklink"

That's all there is to it.  The next time you want to import using "File | Import", you will see the WSJT-X link in your SAVE directory.
Double-click on that link, and you'll find your WSJT-X ADIF file there.

This is not limited to WSJT-X, you can create links to anything you want.
