Allow user to deal with non-existing items in run histroy

Post by jo29 »

I want to do two things:

1. Manually review obsolete entries with run count > n (for example, 10) so that I can carry over the run count to the new file location.
1. Remove other obsolete entries (less than n)

Thanks

Good ideas.

I will consider a UI option to find obsolete entries.
Ideally, there should be an option in Tools -> Run History to toggle obsolete files.

Thank you for the suggestions.



A not-so-easy way to list obsolete entries (not remove them).

Perform your run count search and export to efu:
Search for:
runcount:>10

From the File menu, click Export....
Change Save as Type to: EFU
Choose a filename and click Save.

From the File menu, click Open File List....
Select your Run History.csv (Run History-1.5a.csv) and click Open.

Right click the Search box and click Advanced Search....
Scroll down to the bottom to Search for a list of filenames.
Click Browse....
Select your EFU file you created earlier and click Open.
Click OK.

In the Search box, prefix the includefilelist:.... search with:
!

Your search box should look something like:
!includefilelist:C:\Users\user\Desktop\live-runcount.efu


This will list the obsolete entries.
