Greatly appreciate the recent update that automated the LoTW and Clublog syncing/updating features.

Thanks for the great program.

I know what I'm doing with the software, I don't need multiple
prompts getting in my way and requiring three or four steps to
accomplish my objective.

There is nothing worse than software that actively tries to
prevent the user from accomplishing his goals in the fewest
steps possible. Just another opinion ...

All of "the log page display is filtered" prompts, The LotW Sync
prompt regarding inconsistencies when there are a large number
of confirmations, the eQSL "Add All" prompt when the log page
display is filtered ...

+ Which "are you sure?" confirmations are getting in your way? You can override the "Sync All" operation's request for confirmation by depressing the Alt key while invoking it.

The LotW Sync prompt regarding inconsistencies when there are a large number of confirmations

It may for someone who is not paying attention. On the other hand,
If I make a change to a filtered sub set of the log that is wrong,
I can always filter the log again and reverse the change.

+ That's under your control: on the "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, set the "Handling of LoTW QSL inconsistency" panel to
"Preserve logdata, ignore LoTW data, and report inconsistencies when
operation ends".

But I *want* to be made aware of inconsistencies and make the decision
what to do about them. In particular, I don't want DXK to blindly
follow changes from the idiots who move from Washington to Arizona or
Hawaii to Nevada and reload 50 years of logs with the new QTH.

I'm aware that one can have DXK prepare a "discrepancy report" and
go back to resolve the issue. That's not what I want ... I want
to be prompted for each discrepancy and resolve it on the fly as I
have selected in QSL Config -> LotW without being asked "are you
sure" just because there are more than 'N' new/updated QSLs.

I export new QSOs from my "radio" system to my "desk" machine every
day at 0000z, sync ALL and upload confirmed QSOs to eQSL from the
"desk" machine to keep both systems up to date. The extra "are
you sure" and "log is filtered" prompts get annoying when it is
something I do every day (and multiple times a day between the two
systems plus my backup N100).
