Thanks for testing this Bryn,

Maybe you noticed xlog will crash of you use PgUp/PgDn keys. I forgot to adapt
that bit for multiple logs. If it is very annoying, I can upload a fix.
Keep your logs in a safe place of you can, since there might still be some
other issues.

Dupe checking should be fairly easy to program. It all depends on what you want.
Should there be a start and ending date for the dupe checking, or just the
whole log? If you just want to check the complete log, I can put it in 
0.6 beta4. It is probably very easy to code.

Yes, and the ability to say which logs you want to have displayed at
startup.

There must be a wrong entry in the preferences dialog for your location.

I am glad you can take some time testing xlog.
