Log4OM

Terry,

Congratulations to you and the team for rolling out another update to the greatest multi-featured logging program ever! My QSL and DXCC awards info did not cleanly transfer from Log4OM1– to-Log4OM2. You may have given instructions on how to reload that info into Log4OM2 … but no worries – I am doing it manually. In fact, it is interesting revisiting some of those QSOs.

I am asking for help in adding back QSL Info > QSL > Sent: yes > Via: MANAGER which is missing but was included in Log4OM-1. The only options available now are:
• Undefined
• Bureau
• Direct
• Electronic

See below for the forum message string related to this issue. Nolan indicated he would create a Mantis ticket to fix the “oops” as “manager” dropped out during the Log4OM1-to-Log4OM2 conversion. However “Manager” is still missing after two [?] updates.

I looked at the files to determine if I could edit an xml file to add “manager” similar to the way you told us how we could edit or add various RST levels. The closest file I could find was C: > users > user name > AppData > Roaming > Log4OM2 > temp > award_DXCC.xml. Something tells me this is not the correct file. If the file is editable … please let me know which file, and I can easily perform the edit.

FYI -- Using Log4OM2 NextGen version 2.11.0.0. Using a Dell XPS 8930 running Windows 10 Pro - version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 - 64 bit w/Intel Core i7-9700 CPU @ 3 GHz. No other programs were running except for Mozilla and Microsoft Office when I performed the latest update to NextGen.

Thanks for your help. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Terry - please reference my posting below from several months ago. Someone informed me the "via manager" omission was an oversight and it would be added during the next program update.

I do not see that via "manager" was re-added. Would appreciate it if you would incorporate it in your next update.

Thanks.

Terry,

Great job to you and the crew for the latest update. I attempted to record a QSL route "via the manager," but that entry seems to have disappeared from the latest update. Perhaps instead, we now have "undefined" and "manager" has dropped out. Is there a file I can edit such as what we did to add various db levels to the Sent and Received S-meter readings? Perhaps we can add "Manager" to that file. That would be simple for you all.

Thanks

Looks like an "oops" in a table update. I'll create a Mantis ticket so we get it fixed.

ADIF standard (v3.0.6) still supports the use of "Manager".

Danny,

The Mantis ticket I noted is still active to be worked on / repaired. We've not forgotten about you and that request.

Terry will likely chime in and provide more data about the V1 import and 'tweaking' of that ADIF logfile. He has the best magic approach to such.

Doing on search on the most recent User Guide might also provide some background for you as well. The most recent one is dated: 31/12/2020 2:41PM

Force a download from: Help / User Guide / English (force update) and it will appear in your favorite PDF viewer.

Thanks Noland. I appreciate your help.

Happy New Year to you all.

The reason for this is because that field was depreciated by the ADIF group some time back and is no longer used except for import, see https://adif.org/311/ADIF_311.htm#QSLVia_Enumeration


Via Description
B bureau
D direct
E electronic
M (import-only) manager (import-only)
