Adif log import not possible

Unread post by DL9GTB »

I've been trying to import my logbook into Rumlog for several days, but unfortunately without success.
I click on "File" at the bottom right and want to select the Adif file. Unfortunately, this file is displayed very brightly and cannot be selected. This happens if this file is in Dropbox, iCloud Drive or locally on the iPad. The same thing happens if I click on "Download logbook" at the top right.

Next, I used the SDR-Control app to select iCloud as the logbook location. If I now select "iCloud synced log" as the logbook in Rumlog, nothing happens, no import.
The attempt via UDP was also unsuccessful. In SDR-Control, port 2237 is already entered as the IP "255.255.255.255". In Rumlog, I also entered port 2237. There is no way to enter the IP here either. I get the error message "Rumlog terminated, import stopped", but no import has taken place.

This is the first tool where I've failed with the log import. And yes, of course I've read the help and searched the forum here for solutions. But I don't want to give up. Who can help?

It seems few things are intermixed here:
Unfortunately, this file is displayed very brightly and cannot be selected.
Can you provide a screenshot? Not selectable files should be grayed out, not bright. Make sure the file extension is .adi or .adif.
The same thing happens if I click on "Download logbook" at the top right.
Do you have .rlog files?
Next, I used the SDR-Control app to select iCloud as the logbook location. If I now select "iCloud synced log" as the logbook in Rumlog, nothing happens, no import.
Please see the Help section about iCloud synced logbook There is no relationship to SDR-Control.
The attempt via UDP was also unsuccessful. In SDR-Control, port 2237 is already entered as the IP "255.255.255.255".
As far as I know your router will not forward messages when this address is used. Enter the address of your device, localhost or 127.0.0.1. No need to enter an address in RL, since RL is just listening on the dedicated port.
I get the error message "Rumlog terminated, import stopped", but no import has taken place.
Unfortunately iOS quits all apps when they are longer than ca. 20 sec in the background. You have to use both apps side by side, if possible. This makes this function nearly useless.

Nevertheless I've tested the Import functions using the latest iOS version. Import works as expected.
But I found issues when exporting ADIF from the Files app to RL.

Try this: Send you an ADIF file via e-mail. Tap the file in Mail and export it to RL, this should work.
