[DXLog.net - Support] Period length in a contest?

Hi,

Two-hour OH domestic contests have two periods, meaning that you can  
work the same station again on the same band after the hour changes.  
This feature is nicely taken into account in DXLog.net.

I'm testing DXLog in "Viitosten Syysottelu" today, and after the SSB  
part I noticed that I should have picked "Operating -> Period  
autoswitch" in order to activate the feature => RTFM... :)

I'm now preparing for the CW part that is later today and hope the  
feature will work there. I have a couple of questions:

1) Where is the period duration defined? In the contest configuration  
file I see "PERIOD=ON" and "PERIOD_NUMBER=2", but nothing about  
duration.

2) When I re-loaded my SSB part log after picking "Operating -> Period  
autoswitch", it seems all QSOs are still marked to be in the same  
period, and I cannot manually change it in post-contest mode. Is this  
a problem of the duration not being specified anywhere, or that logs  
can't be re-scored in this manner?
