wrong (Distance) values after log Import

[DO9KW]

Hello,

it seems that I have a problem with v2.26.0.0
I imported my QRZ.com adi file into Log4OM because on QRZ.com I had stored excactly 9 more QSOs compared to Log4OM and I did not know which were these 9 missing QSOs.
The 9 missing contacts got imported to Log4OM after setting the duplicates threshold to 320 seconds, before setting that value I had everything double after the import..
During the import there were also some corrections of CQ and QRZ Zones, States, DXCCs and so on but I guess this is correct because QRZ.com does not check the values.
here is a short extract from the log file:

I don't know if this is okay but I guess it is correct that a /MM station has no CQ and ITU Zone? If so this seems to be an error..

Another question:
After the import several distance values are incorrect as you can see in the attached screenshot..
It seems that the comma is not set before the last 2 digits.
When I open the contact and save it again it is corrected.
Is there any way how I can correct it for the whole log without opening every single QSO?

Also is it normal that there are 3 digits after the comma for FT8 contacts?

Yes that looks OK and when you work a boat/ship and its /MM it must be at sea, not docked to a country so there is no DXCC for the oceans/seas!

These values probably came from the import, not calcualted by Log4OM

Easy to fix go to

QSO manager

Select the QSO's to be edited

Bulk edit the 'Distance' field to be empty/blank by using 'Single field update' (Field to update = Distand and check 'clear field' followed by 'Update'

Finally still with the QSO's selected/highlighted use 'QSO checks' tab in QSO manager to update the distance/bearing

Dont forget to un check 'Simulation' or nothing will be changed

All of these steps/updates are in our user guide

Also is it normal that there are 3 digits after the comma for FT8 contacts?

Yes because your using audio offsets to trequencies in FT8

Not a LOG4OM error so moving topic to User Support

That works, many thanks

Could this be a partly Log4OM error?
I tried to import an ADIF Backup from Log4OM where I did not make any QRZ.com import and there I had the same issues with wrong distance values (missing comma).
I am pretty sure I did not have this behaviour in v2.25.0.0

Is the mass update also available for missing operator names in my log because older QSO have - why ever - no names saved.
When I open a contact, click on refresh data the operator name appears and then I can save the contact but it would be great if I could do this somehow for all the missing names in one step.

I found another problem:
several stations from Hawaii operate from the USA (Florida for example) but when importing the data from QRZ.com (with the correct GRIDs from the WSJT-X log) to Log4OM the GRIDs got updated, is it possible to prevent this somehow? I only want to import the missing contacts and DON'T want to edit the existing ones in the Log4OM log.
But when having nearly 10000 QSOs in Log it is hard to say which are the ones that are missing..
