Can't select ADIF file for import into QRZ.com

[photogonal@gmail.com]

When I select browse from within QRZ.com to import RumLogNG ADIF file, the file I wish to upload is greyed out and is not selectable. Attachment included. QRZ support has asked me to contact RumlogNGG support. This is bizarre, can you help out?

Thanks, Robbie

I'm not familiar with the upload specifications, maybe qrz doesn't like the file extension .adif? Try to rename it to .adi
But the helpdesk should be able to see the problem, when it is so easy to fix.

I renamed the file extension to .adi and it worked!

I am curious, why not export your files in .ADI extension format?

[DL2RUM]

You can choose the name and the extension during export. Do what ever you want.

I just select the name, it automatically inserts the .adif extension... that tripped me up. Why not programmatically default to .adi ?

[DL2RUM]

Yes, but you can change it before you save the file.
Why do you not ask qrz to accept .adif files?

I simply tried to import the file created by your software, simply assuming that I did not need to specify the file extension. Your software by default, in absence of my entering a file extension, created the .adif file extension. Yes, I realize now that I should have added the .adi extension but I didn't. I asked QRZ support why it would not import, and in hindsight, they could have advised on the error to use .adi extension.

Yes, I should have paid more attention, but this would not have been an issue if your logic was, "if no file extension entered then insert .adi file extension" Your current logic is "if no file extension entered then insert .adif".

Thats my way: I click on upload, and the new browse-window, where the adif is gray and unselecable, i Right-click on the adif and choose "rename" and in that Moment, you can choose and upload it.

A bit confusing but works.
