Updated TQSl to v 2.3.1. Now upload to lotw fails. Invalid mode ft8. I did add ft8 to the mode list in cqrlog. The error occurs as cqrlog tries to sign the upload file. How can I fix this?

LOTW upload fails with rasp 2.3.1
LOTW upload fails with TQSL V 2.3.1. This appears to be caused by the way CQRLog implements the TQSL upload. I'm running CQRLog on Mint 17 and have been for years without problem. TQSL runs under .Wine. Had to update TQSL to upload FT8 contacts. There is a copy of some of the TQSL files, but not all, in /home//.tqsl. The confix.xml file used by CQRLog is located there. That file was V 2.8. The current one is 11.1. The one in the .Wine/tqsl directory is not used. The TQSL.exe is in the .Wine/tqsl directory. Therfore TQSL does not update the proper config.xml file. When I copied config.xmt 11.1 to ~/.tqsl the upload problem was fixed.
It would be helpful to understand how CQRLog implements to LOTW upload. What is the purpose of the second directory? Would you please explain the process so that I may look for other possible glitches.

HI
I had to check this as I just upgraded to Fedora 26 and it has gone some time since I last updated LoTW and eQSL.
My Tqsl is now:
TQSL V2.3.1 build [pkg-v2.3.1]
(c) 2001-2016 American Radio Relay League
TrustedQSL library V2.5
Configuration data V11.1
wxWidgets 2.8.12 (Unicode)
libcurl V7.53.1
OpenSSL 1.1.0f 25 May 2017
zlib V1.2.11
Berkeley DB 5.3.28: (September 9, 2013)
I did not have any problems to upload or download my qsos to LoTW and eQSL.
My qsos were mostly FT8, but some CW and JT65 qsos, too.
After that I logged into LoTW web and checked latest uploads and they all were ok.
You talk about .wine directory. What is that for??
At least Fedora does have Tqsl binary at /usr/bin/tqsl so it is not windoze (EXE) file.
Are you trying to use windoze version of tqsl in linux?

Saku,
I. run tqsl in wine a windows emulator that allows windows programs to run in Linux. The .wine directory is part of wine. More on wine is available on the web. It all works well together. CQRLog handles the upload ok with this setup. Because the tqsl configure.xml file is in /.tqsl the windows installer (MSN) executed under wine does not update it. Therefore I,d like to know how CQRLog handles the LOTW upload. What directories are used etc.

Yes I know what wine is for. I have also had to use it with some programs written only for Windows.
Just wondering why to use it as Tqsl exists also as linux version. Backup of certificate and settings at windows os and after that restore in linux os is very easy.
So why to use extra "adapter" called Wine?
More programs, more problems.
Wine is for drinking :D : D

Wow! Wine is here A MUST because we still don't have an "adult" program for contesting. Although there is a lot of attempts, none of them is useful (read "comfortable") enough to make a serious contest entry (including Contest option in CQRlog). It is known fact that at least TR4W runs nicely in linux/wine, also Wintest (commercial, grrrr) runs in this way. So we need wine...
BTW it would be very interesting if someone will port TR4W to linux (source code is available).
Hi Martin !
As said: "I have also had to use it with some programs written only for Windows."
Not with contest programs, as I am not a serious contester, but with some navigation programs.
I know there is not good contest program for linux, but I see no mind running Tqsl via wine as the same job can be done with linux application.
Just looked source code and I can tell you Marty, N3MOW, that you see everything from "Export to LoTW"/Upload to LoTW" form.
First qsos are sent from mysql to adif file. Process and filename can be seen from "upload" memo.
After that cqlog executes command line that is typed into "tqsl command line arguments" with the filename.
When "Upload" button is pressed filename extension is changed to ".tq8" and the file is uploaded to LoTW https site.
