Editing more than one record at once.

Post by GD1MIP »

I use Log4om as an everyday log.

However in a UK based contest I use Minos log software and then load the QSOs to Log4om. The problem with this is my transferred QSOs are recorded on my Log4om without my grid square or radio / antenna. I then have to manually alter each individual record.

Is there any way all of these transferred / incomplete records can be selected and altered at the same time?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Andy GD1MIP

Please post one Minos ADIF QSO here so we can see what it contains, please just one QSO not a whole log!

Looking at the adif file it does not contain any data regarding the aerial you used, radio or your grid square so you need to bulk update those QSO's

To do that use our QSO manager and filter/select the imported QSO's, then highlight them all

Select the Update QSO tab and the field to edit from the drop down menu and enter the data (see example below)

Click update

You of course will need to do that for each missing field but its faster than individual QSO edits

Terry, thanks for the prompt reply. As you stated that works.

The data changes now in my log, but other relevant data does not change in line with that amendment (eg If I add my missing grid square the distance between stations should, but does not update).

I find I then have to open each QSO individually in the Edit QSO page and press the 'Green tick' button for the changes to take effect. I have tried closing and reopening the whole program (in hope) but that made no difference. Or am I missing something, maybe a refresh button?

thanks Andy

No your not missing anything.

We have yet to add some update routines which will automatically do this and some other updates.

Hopefully we will add these soon so I recommend that you wait unless its imperative that you do it immediately?

Thanks. I can wait.

Being decidedly average in my PC operating skills I thought I'd check.

Thanks Andy
