Removing Dupes


 

I made a mistake uploading an ADIF and now I have hundreds of dupes in my log.? I tried QSO filtering but couldn't find a correct category to filter by.? Does anyone know of any way to remove dupes from my log without going through each one manually?


 

Did you not get a Duplicate QSO window when importing?
?
But, the first thing I would do is export what is currently there (including dupes) using Generic/All Columns. After that, in the QSO Table portion, I would right-click on the column header of the QSO Table and select QSO ID and then sort by that column.
?
? If you know your last "real" QSO, I would select all QSOs after that last real one (per QSO ID numbers). Then, right-click on that selection and at the bottom is Delete. I can also just use the keyboard delete key and it then asks for confirmation.
?
? Again, the export with with dupes can be used to get back to the latest in case something doesn't work out.

What about exporting QSOs from QLog, deleting all QSOs, and then importing them again into QLog? QLog can detect duplicates during the import process.

There is a program called adif_merge that will do this for you nicely.
?
1. Export all of your contacts from QLog.
2. Collect all or any other ADI files that you want to include
3. Run adif_merge on all of these ADI files
4. Starting with an empty logbook in QLog, if you want (delete your entries with all those dupes), import the result file into QLog
?
This works, of course, for any logging program and not just QLog.
