Thirteen revs and a broken friendship later (just kidding about the friendship!), I think I might have a usable program. If you are interested, see the Soaring Cafe article about it at

Great. Thanks. I'll have to use this rather than the manual extraction one I came up with for myself.

This is looking promising, and have most of the data typically needed in logbooks. Notably missing are distance, release altitude and max altitude (altitude gain). This data is available in the igc file but is obviously harder to extract, especially OLC distance and release altitude. I've been waiting for years for someone to come up with a program that can provide all that. I heard from Crosscountry.aero that they are working on such a logbook option.

The Crosscountry.aero logbook function has now been completed and is
currently undergoing testing. It feeds off of the igc file evaluation,
so all the required statistics are there. Functionality includes export
to PDF if a printed version of the logbook is required.

This feature will be released as part of a new package of services on
the site in about a month's time.

Alex, I will be happy to help evaluating it.
