[Dx4win] eQSL import question

[Mats Naslund]

 Thanks Mel,
Yes, this will work, but it has the (slight) downside that if I do like this, I will *never* import anything to
the notes field. For example, the first time I import a (new) confirmation from eQSL, there will not be any
additional grid square information imported, even if that information would have been accurate and useful.(To acheive this it seems I would need to check each QSO manually and only add the "<xGRID..." for those 
confirmations  that has already been imported once before.)
I was hoping there was a more automatioc way by which notes would be imported exactly once, but not
repeatedly. Anyway, it is not overly important, I will lot lie sleepless over this ;-)
TNX again for all suggestions, 73

Hello Mats
Open the exported ADIF-fil in a text editor e.g. Notepad.
Change all  <GRIDSQUARE:  to <xGRIDSQUARE:
  by using find replace  

save and import
xGRIDSQUARE: is not defined by ADIF. thus it will not be used in the import.

Hello,

When exporting confirmed QSO:s from eQSL, there only seems to be one option supported by 
eQSL: to export the whole log/inbox as ADIF each time. That is, unlike LotW, there is AFAICT no 
option in eQSL to only download new QSLs, received after the most recent download.

Thus, when importing this to DX4WIN ("Confirm using ADIF") there will be re-imports of eQSL:s that 
have already been imported. This, as such, is no problem since DX4WIN handles “dupes” during 
import. However, if there is a conflict between the imported QSO and the QSO in the log (for example, 
the Grid-square values differ), then DX4WIN will add this in the "Notes for this QSO" field.
As far as I can tell, if I import the same QSO/eQSL again, then DX4WIN adds  yet another note, with 
precisely the same content. I checked, and this does seem to be the case. For example, I have a 
QSO with a Finish OH-station with the following content in the QSO-notes field:

    "Import:{Grid=KP20af} Import:{Grid=KP20af} Import:{Grid=KP20af}",

apparently coming from eQSL imports confirming the same QSO three times. 

Arguably, this is a shortcoming of the eQSL export feature, but I am curious if there is a way to configure 
DX4WIN so that it does not add an new import note which is identical to one that already exists?

 
73 + TNX
