Is it not possible to save downloaded eQSL images to another server or location on my network?



I attempted to access the network using QSL config, then chose to browse to the network path I would like all eQSL’s to be saved to but my network path will not open. How do I enable saving to another data storage center on the network?




… I’m just sayin’

Dave - I spoke too soon. Download from LoTW is not working. When I click on Sync LoTW QSOs and Sync LoTW QSLs, I get this Message: "Unable to Download from LoTW: Download failure". Also when I click on Add Requested, I get 5 Log entries that have been previously Uploaded, so system says they are dupes and will not Upload. Tried to add a new QSO and Add requested, and got the same results.



Checked my network with my other Laptop that has DXLab and Keeper and Sync functions worked properly, and when I clicked Add Requested, the previously uploaded Qs did not show up.



Suggestions?



Thanks - Alan K9MBQ

Dave - Took your first recommendation - Uninstalled DXLab apps tks to the Dell Techs who used Revo Reg Cleaner Pro They cleaned it all out, and then I did a New Download from the DXLab web site. Installed Launcher and used it to install all Apps. Uploaded my DXKeeper Log file and updated all other missing data (I must not have done the Workspace saving correctly since had to re enter most data). Keeper Uploads to LoTW, and other apps seem to work all OK.

So, my DX Lab Suite on the problem computer appears to be back up to full operations. . . . and the world is now safe!!



Thanks for your continuing assistance.



Best regards,

Alan K9MBQ

OK, Dave. Will uninstall and do a new install. Any suggestions re a Windows Registry Cleaner?

I have no experience with Registry Cleaners. A Registry Cleaner - I forget which one - was at one time recommended in "Getting Started with DXLab", but a user reported that it caused damage, so I removed the recommendation.

Also, I can open Commander and DXKeeper and use all OK, incl uploading recent QSOs to LoTW. However, once I open WW, it will not shut down.

You could try leaving Commander and DXKeeper installed, an only uninstall/clean/re-install the applications that aren't working correctly. However, there is always the possibility of hidden damage.

If you want to save eQSL card images to a folder on another computer, first save them to a local folder, and then move them across your network using Windows Explorer.

Dave;



This is currently what I am doing – is there any thought to allowing eQSL’s to be saved off the main computer (where DXLabs resides) and allowing us to save to a network location? I would sure appreciate this as my little HD is starting to get full. I have 2 6TB data storage units I could move them over to and open up many, many gig of space on the main computer HD.



If I cut/paste them to the storage unit, then every time I go to get my new eQSL images they download the entire archive again, thus repopulating what I just cleared out. Unless I’m doing something wrong, which is likely.

The Windows function used to download eQSL images will not accept a pathname that specifies a folder on another PC. Furthermore, DXKeeper checks to see if an image as already present before directing eQSL to download the image, so supporting the storage of images on another PC would require making this check across the network for each QSO in the Log Page Display -- which would be slow.

If I cut/paste them to the storage unit, then every time I go to get my new eQSL images they download the entire archive again, thus repopulating what I just cleared out. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which is likely.

The mechanism expects that previously-downloaded images will remain present in the specified folder; if a previously-downloaded image is no longer present, DXKeeper assumes that it was never downloaded, and so downloads it.

If you want to download and store eQSL images, you'll need sufficient storage on your PC. Consider using an inexpensive thumb drive for this purpose.

Does the function that restricts saving eQSL images to a local PC tolerate drive letters created via NET USE?

I don't know, Michael, I haven't tested it.
