[WT-support] IMPORT function is too restrictive...

[PO]

HI Oliver,

Hmmm... 

Sorry but I think I am right when I say it is to restrictive...

And YES... I don't like to have a door close on my nose when I am trying to
HELP a group of guys to improve a software and show problems from a
different point of view.

Now...


Using WT vers 3.16 dev for SARTG... I tried to import a simple CAB file of
MixW ...15 qso's , I had to change contest line SARTG with SARTG-RTTY.

Then  it would give me ERROR on each QSO line to import... ending with a
empty log to continue in the contest...

It is simple for you to try MIXW with small log file of few qso ... and try
it out.

*** EVEN  WIN-TEST (USING SAME VER 3.16 dev and a SARTG_RTTY file
    DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO IMPORT FROM ITS OWN CAB FILE and gives the same
ERRORs.

You should not fly the handle about this task closing. In your bug 
report you were talking about "add an ADIF or TXT function" in Win-Test: 
my english comprehension might be false but for me it's not a bug report 
but a feature request.

If you have problems importing some specific cabrillo files in Win-Test, 
please send them to us in order to check.
