[WriteLog] Saving Preset files problem

[Ed Muns]

Hi, Ken.

I'm not completely following your description below.  What do you mean by,
"the PRESET file is no longer there"?

To setup Exchange Preset in WriteLog, you simply access the Preset item on
the Tools menu and point to the ADI file you want to use for preset
exchanges.  If the ADI file is an unmodified log file, it will take a long
time to load.  It is best to edit it down to only US/VE calls in one column
and their QTH in a second column.  All other information is superfluous, not
used and in the way.  All columns other than CALL and QTH can be deleted.

When you exit WriteLog and re-enter using the same log file that you just
setup preset in, WriteLog will go to the location where you originally
pointed to for the preset ADI file.  IOW, the preset ADI file must remain in
the location where you first pointed to it with the Tools/Preset Exchange
window.  Otherwise, no calls/exchange data will be loaded.

Subject: [WriteLog] Saving Preset files problem

Hi
Running V 11.18c with WIN 7, laptops and ICOM 7600s networked.

I decided to get a jump on getting ready for RTTY RU in January. I decided
to start a new log and use the Preset Exchange feature in tools to load
over a 1000 calls from last years log.

I uploaded my 2016 RTTY RU adi file into the new 2017 log and all went
well. I did a SAVE CONFIG and exited the new log. When I open it up  the
PRESET file is no longer there, it did not save. According to the WL Help
file the new file should remember what I loaded.  I have tried it several
times and it will not save the calls in PRESET.

Any help?

Thanks
Ken W0LSD
