CQRLOG for LINUX by OK2CQR & OK1RR

QSO record edit
Most editing operations can be done from the QSO list window which appears if pressing Ctrl-O or clicking corresponding menu item from the logging screen.

The QSO list displays either all QSO records or a limited QSO number (QSO since ... year), depending on the
Preferences -> Program settings.

This window has a quite complex icon system which is explained here:

A single record can be edited (viewed, deleted) if you highlight it using mouse or up/down keys and click the corresponding button (it will be EA8FC here, of course). You will be returned to the QSO logging window which is now changed to Edit window. This status is clearly marked with the red message (edit mode) just behind the Call header which is also displayed with red letters. Of course, all fields can be edited. If you finish editing, you should save the chages using ENTER key or clicking the Save QSO [enter] button, just in the same way as you do if you want to log in a new contact.

A QSO record can be now edited also directly from the logging screen. The QSOs made in last few days
(see Preferences -> New QSO) are displayed in the logging screen. Right click on the particular record which appears in the logging screen, edit mode, exactly as described above (here 5R8IC will be edited).

Of course, you can also view the record (no edit) and search in the QRZ database or look for the QSL manager in the IK3QAR QSL manager database.

Group edit
A record can be tagged clicking the corresponding icon or with mouse - hold the Ctrl key on the keyboard and left click on the QSO record to be tagged.

Click the Edit QSO button and a group edit menu appears:

Choose the field to be edited from the pulldown menu:

The field name changes. Enter the value (word, string) which will appear in ALL tagged QSO records. Click the Apply button and the value in all tagged records will be changed to the value entered into Value: box. All values entered within a session are temporarily stored so you can list it with the "arrow down" button in the group edit menu.
 | WARNING! There is no UNDO option! If you click the Apply button, there is no way to return to previous values! Make a backup before any group edit operation! |
