And if it was not for Jim (AD1C) the accuracy would not be there either.  

Just an FYI from earlier discussion:  I use DXLabs at the club station and we send in our LoTW uploads in bulk but just two clicks to send (one to add requested QSOs, one to send).  Then downloads are one click to download log match (that QSOs are matched in both places) and one more to update confirmations.  Last click can be done whenever you want to check for more confirmations.  I also think every QSO uploaded real time is a waste of LoTW computer resources but they are so fast normally now that is not really an issue.

It is normal that the most of the users still use dx4win are not interested for auto upload to lotw, clublog and eqsl. After some time I believe the majority of the dx4win users will be like me: they will not have interest for ft8 as well.

Dx4win should be able to offer these 2 things. Of course switchable auto or not. But this is what most of the people ask today. I have showed dx4win to many new hams. I explain that the most important thing in a logging program is to be reliable (not loose my qsos) and show the right dxcc entity and zone of every call. Dx4win does perfect these 2 things. 
I am a CQ checker in my country. You can not believe how many mistakes other programs have in zones. But all the new hams are interesting for
ft8 and other digi and they don't like the way dx4win handles this. Also they want to be able easily upload to lotw and clublog. In combination that they need to pay for dx4win (not a few $) the most of them go away. 
This is not good for most of us even we are ok with dx4win...
