Subject: [WriteLog] Help, Please: Directory Confusion?
I give up. I've spent two hours trying to get set up for my 2007 general
logging using WL and I'm FUBAH. Can someone please help me or point me to
the right place to RTFM? I've looked through the Help files and the K9JY
site but haven't found solace.
I have been operating with the latest (to me) version of WL in the silly
directory location c:\ham. That was the WL convention years ago. At some
point, I installed an update that put itself into the Redmond-approved
location c:\Program Files\Writelog. (The install process doesn't let you
specify this explicitly - it has something to do with whether you are
installing an update or a full release. I can't find an explanation of what
this really means with respect to program files, data files and
directories.) Years later, I installed a version that landed in c:\ham
again. So my current status is program files in c:\ham and data files in
c:\Program Files\Writelog\Contest. It is silly but it was all working so I
didn't try to fix it.
Today I archived my 2006 log and attempted to set up a blank log for 2007.
Since general logging is poorly supported, my logs from prior years were
painstakingly defined, field by field, each year. I finally got it close to
correct in 2006. So this time I attempted to make a copy of my 2006 log,
rename it to 2007 and delete all the old QSOs. This seemed to work for the
QSO data but now I have the following problems:
- The size and location of my main WL window is not retained across
program restarts.
- The Setup Ports definitions are not retained across Setup Save
Configuration, File Save and program restart.
I would feel like less of an idiot if I knew where these things were saved.
I thought it was in Writelog.ini but apparently that no longer persists
properly. I suspect there is some other repository for config file names and
paths that I don't know about. Can anyone help?
Thanks & 73,
/Rick N6XI
