it is understandable that rewinding may not work if it has
to jump back and forth between .MP3 files recorded on two
computers when QSOs at a multi are interleaved in the log.
<b>So it's safer to jump to the QSO rather than to rewind
and fast forward when you have two .MP3 files to play
back from one log.</b><br>

Yes, for the "usual" use cases it would work. But unfortunately a
QSO on UHF/SHF can be considerably longer (3-5min) than what
Win-Test "expects", so what you hear in Play-QSO is just the end of
it. You then need to rewind to the beginning of the QSO -> crash.<br>
<br>
Note that I find the features of the contest recorder absolutely
marvelous (especially the way to extract QSOs) and I did not expect
to be able to play QSOs of different stations from one merged log.
But this part works well indeed.<br>
Also the support for time codes is well done.<br>
So the part that crashes is probably (I hope) easy to fix and would
make a great feature really complete.<br>

Yes, this is what you need. Unfortunately not enough for me (as I
wrote, I still need to rewind a bit to get to the beginning of the
QSO).<br>

<div>However, if you want the crash to be fixed, you have to
put all the files (merged .wt4, and all the corresponding

web somewhere, then send F6FVY <b>a link</b> to the file
(URL), with explicit step-by-step instructions on how to

you can make it easy for him to recreate the problem.</div>

Yes, no problem. I'll share a link with him with detailed

<div>But, what do you expect "Rewind 30 seconds" to do?
Switch recordings and play back the QSO made at that time
(perhaps on a different computer), or just rewind in the
current recording you are listening do, without switching
.MP3 files? Probably the latter would be more useful, but
it might also be confusing.</div>

<br>
No, of course just ff/rewind in the current recording. Anything else
would be too complicated and too confusing.<br>
