Not really a problem but is there a way to log or edit locator squares as for example IO93et instead of IO93ET ?

Re: Locators in logbook
Double click the QSO in the recent QSO window to bring up the edit screen
Change the locator
Click Save & Exit
The correct format for a locator is two capital letters followed by a two digit number and ending with two lower case letters
All covered in the user guide

I've tried all ways but for some reason I can only use capital letters even though my CAPS light is not lit on my keyboard.

So the original question should not have been "how can I edit" but rather "I can only save locators in capital letters not upper and lower case"
I will check this in a few minutes, it could be a bug

OK I can report this is a bug and I will add it to our Mantis list
I think this bug has crept in with 1.18 because other entries made with 1.17 are in upper and lower case
Thanks for spotting this

Re: Locators in logbook
Hi Terry,
checked this in my log and also logged grids in the older versions are only with big letters like IO95AA. So i don´t see an issue when testing the bata softwares. But it´s not a problem to handle grids with big letters with other software. All i testet also can handle this format. Think it´s easier to handle then using the caps for the first 2 letters and then writing the rest without the caps key

Re: Locators in logbook
Why it's a "bug" to have locator all in capital letters?
I'm using some code on locator, and casing makes difference... so i uppercased it.
Is there any trouble on that, or it's only an ahestetic issue?

For me it´s not a problem .... i like it as it is and all other softwares can handle this. Think it´s only "for the eyes"

Re: Locators in logbook
There are approximately another 14 new Foundation licence holders at my radio club so I plan to do another presentation on Log4OM.
In V2 would it please be possible for locators to show as IO93et instead of IO93ET please? I know its a minor to some but I am a perfectionist!
