Hi Carsten,
When importing from ADIF, the distance is calculated from the QTH locator no matter whether it has 4 or 6 digits (it will be more accurated if 6 digits are used). In order to calculate distance properly you have to define your QTH locator in your MyQTH. During conversion Swisslog calculates the distance between both locators.
I have uploaded a Beta where the QTH locator will be imported from LoTW/eQSL QSLs either if the QTH locator field is empty or if QTH locator to import has 6 digits and the QTH locator fields has 4 digits matching the Maidenhad:

Simply download and
REPLACE this file in the Swisslog folder. It should work now.
Regarding your third question, let me explain how the realtime setting works when using external programs:
Swisslog reads some initial settings (such as realtime) when the
Add QSO window opens! Realtime (and other settings) must be disabled to allow some external programs (such WSJT-X, etc) to set the QSO date/time and mode when saving the QSO. Once the QSO is saved, Swisslog restores the initial setting. So if realtime is enabled when the
Add QSO window is open, it will leave it this way. Keep in mind that in order to save all settings the "
Save desktop on exit" Option must be checked! otherwise all settings you change will only be applied for the current session. If realtime entry is disabled when the Add QSO window is open and your preferred entry mode is realtime, simply enable it by double click on the date field. Date/time fields background will become yellow. Then close and open the Add QSO window again. This way Swisslog will know that the initial setting is ON. Next time you open Swisslog it will recall the initial setting.
Although I have programmed to restore the realtime user setting after saving a QSO from WSJT-X, it may happen that after saving a QSO the realtime setting is not restored properly (it should not happen but unfortunately it may happen). That's the reason I added in 5.99 the new function to switch realtime ON/OFF by just double clicking in the date field and hightlighting the realtime mode by setting the date/time background color to yellow. This is very useful for users to know if realtime is enabled or not. I hope this explanation will help you to understand how the whole thing works.
