Tnx to W5GN, K4IA & VE3CWJ, it appears I will be able to manually resolve
the WL Field Day related issues...similar to what others have experienced.
In the tedious process, I'll offer a suggestion to minimize a lot of
redundant manual labor.
Currently:
1. WL allows for SHIFT + ENTRY multiple manual highlighting of
entries...one at a time, and you can right-click the mouse to change a
whole "group" of entries to "Mark QSO as Claimed" ... ONCE the Freq/Mode
changes have individually been made (otheerwise the Red "B" remains).
2. WL does NOT allow for SHIFT + ENTRY multiple manual highlight of entries
to make Freq/Mode changes for a group of QSO entries, and these must be
done one-at-a-time.
Recommendations:
1. Enable the ability to highlight multiple QSO entry lines by simply
dragging the mouse up or down as is customary highlighting with many s/w
programs.
2. Include a checkbox for "Mark QSO as Claimed" WITHIN the Freq/Mode dialog
box pop up....preferably an option to GLOBALLY Mark all and not have to
even click on a checkbox for each entry.
3. The ideal would be to incorporate all options in the righ-click menu
with all other editing options (freq/mode, etc.) into one "Master Editor"
dialog box when you need to change the SAME DATA for hundreds of like-kind
entries...for whatever reasons. This would save c-o-n-s-i-d-e-r-a-b-l-e
time in editing/correcting entries.
FYI & 73...
