QSL sent status

[PE5TT]

Hello,

i am probably misusing the "QSL sent" status to mark different things, but it works for me. For example
N = not sent , sent card next time
Y = card is sent
C = contest qso, i don't sent card unless i receive one, then i change the C back to N and it get sent next time
D = QSL direct only, and i did not sent the card direct (yet)
R = card is requested via OQRS

However if i export my current log in LOG4OM v1 and import it in LOG4OM v2 all these status are gone.
Then i toughed i change the status after import, but in fields are missing in QSO manager, there is no way to change the QSL sent field.

Is there any other way to keep the functionality for marking different status ?

1. Did you export the ADIF from Version 1 as instructed as a ADIF version 3 if you did not export the correct ADIF version this could cause the QSL status to not be transferred.
2. All confirmation updates and changes are handled in the QSL manager not the QSO manager that is why those fields are not available in the QSO manager

Hello Terry,

i did export as V3 adif, in the adif i see : <QSL_SENT:1>C for a contest QSO , in LOG4OM v2 it becomes qsl sent: N

Hello OM,

if you like to change QSL send status use the QSL Manager instead of the QSO Manager
so the QSL Manager is made for this. You can edit single entries but also doind massed
updates by using the filters and by selecting the QSO´s you will change. For a better
understanding see my screenshot:

By the way, there is no QSL send with a C in V2. What we have are the things you find
in the pulldown of the changeable fields in the screenshot. There is no C or Contest.

Hello Terry,

i did export as V3 adif, in the adif i see : <QSL_SENT:1>C for a contest QSO , in LOG4OM v2 it becomes qsl sent: N

Because <QSL_SENT:1>C is not a valid ADIF value, I guess these values were imported from another program.

We cannot match the value 'C' therefore we mark it N - See https://www.adif.org/310/ADIF_310.htm#Q ... numeration

Oke, i understand that "C" is no default option. however in LOG4OM v1 i could change qsl_sent it to "C" but in LOG4OM v2 i can't

As said i would like to keep track of contest QSO as i don't automatically sent QSL card for these QSO's , but i do reply if i receive one.
Also i would like to keep track of QSO's that only QSL direct, but that i did not sent (yet)

Is there any other way i could achief the same functionality ?

Use the contest fields to identify contest contacts

Use the filters to filter by QSL received status = Yes and respond to those where you did not send a card already

[PE5TT]

This means when i want to print my QSL's i have to do 2 runs

first run
contest = false
qsl_sent = N

second run
contest = true
qsl-rcvd = true
qsl_sent = N

Used to be easier when i could just change the qsl-sent field

As for Direct QSL i could set it to "I" ignore, thats oke for me as i know "I" means Direct

[PE5TT]

This does not work as i can not filter on the "Contest" field, like "QSL_Sent" it is not present as selectable item.

Why don't you just bulk edit all those incorrectly QSL status fields in version 1 from C to I then re-import them?
