Hi Barry,

Is there a way of automatically trimming the most played/History files to say just 30 days or top 50.

The files get very big and delay the loading of etouch and I have been manually doing it but sometimes make a mistake which corrupts the records.

You should be able to do it with the history edit tool. Trim the history and remove the most played file and it will recreate it on boot up.

O.K. thanks Barry.

Does it not use the most played for creating the venue charts?

Yes but once your charts are created it will not remove them

If you are unsure just back up your history files before you trim them

No it will save everything for commercial licence compliance.

Yeah I comply but after I report a quarter I can delete it from user history thus reducing load time.  So right now 1 song at a time?  Any ideas on doing it from my end?  I mean I open userhistory in notepad and its info is all over the place thus making it hard to  erase a specific part.

Each record has a set number of characters for it's field, this is why it seems disjointed in notepad. Are you using the history edit tool to trim the file?

I could add something to the history edit tool.

How would you want this to work? I was thinking of button to remove the last x enteries or something like enteries older than x days?

Updated History Edit tool in the beta section. Should do what you want, added the option to remove enteries over X days old. Please carry on discussion about this in that thred.

new tool is working fine as much as I can test. I havent a history longer than a day while as im still setting everything up. But it does clear all & I dont have to click/delete/repeat any longer. So that is already a win for me.
