I have version 3.7.4
Looks like I need to get an updated version.
After I download the latest version, what is the procedure so I do not lose my log and program setting?
UPDate RUMLog ?

Re: UPDate RUMLog ?
First at all, backup your existing files. You have only to replace the RUMlog.app. Just drag and drop the new RUMlog.app file into your existing RUMlog folder. Keep the new downloaded 'What's new???' and read it carefully. Discard the other files.

Re: UPDate RUMLog ?
OK.
What are you calling the RUMLog.app Oh do you mean the executable file to start RumLog? I just says RUMLog and under the Kind column says Application.
From the last time I did this I moved K9TF Log.rsd do I all so need to move the current DXCC.rsd?
Also I think I need to move my LOTW Tqsl and Tqslcert files as well into the new RUMLog directory. Right??

Re: UPDate RUMLog ?
Read my comment above! The easiest way to update is to put the new RUMlog application into your old existing folder. Keep your old dxcc.rsd, because you have made heavy changes due to your old logs.
tqsl is required for uploading, not the tqslcert files .

Re: UPDate RUMLog ?
Ok, That is easier. I just did it that way.
How would I know if you had updated any other file like DXCC Prefix change, cocoModem Script, User manual what ever if I keep doing this on every update?
This could get messy. I had to move files and manually update DXCC list for some time with a Windows PC program or two. I was unconforatble doing it, but it had to be done. I later found out because of it I had made mistakes and did not get certain QSO credits when transferring from one program to another. This is the sixth program I have used, and is the Second Mac logging program. The First Mac logging program I did not like, looked at it for 60 days before deciding to drop it and to use RuMLog instead. I had ran 2 other Mac logging programs for a couple of days and was unhappy with them, so I did not count those cause I used the same ADIF file and made no changes to it.
I have Time Machine so file backup is not an issue.
Besause of the extent of my changes and because of my old logs, I need to establish my update procedures because of the changes and time spent on them. I am afraid that I will miss an update and have problems. I want to minimize problems as much as I can.

When you carefully read the documentation files, you will not run into trouble.
The problem is, that every user has made his own changes on the dxcc country database. Maybe I will change the database structure in the future, to allow the users to share the changes. But no idea yet.
