[WriteLog] Unwanted changes

Do not select new. You will lose all of your changes. You must select using
existing log. The best thing to do is to save your setup (contestname.wl) to
a directory after setting up a contest and with an empty log. Be sure you
have done a save settings and also you MUST save the writelog.ini file from
the windows system directory. Then copy these files back to those places
before you start the contest. All your settings are kept.

Yes, this is not a good thing, All should be in a single file which should
not be in the windows directory but that is how it works so you are stuck.


I have been complaining about this since I bought the program but it has
been ignored. This post and others shows that it is needed.
