Hello Steve,
Many thanks for your response (sorry, it's been a while now).
You have spotted my misunderstanding - the bulk history is always
listed, even if a given file did not match.
However, I find the bulk feature a bit cumbersome to use - adding
regular expression support, or ignoring characters like '*' or spaces
would greatly help to widen its usage for example.

Hello Nicolas,
My understanding is that the "Bulk History" listing shows which bulk
scans have been tested against the file -- not necessarily whether or
not it was a successful match for that file.
If the file was not cleared after the bulk scan, most likely there was
a slight difference between the file text and search text which caused
it not to be an exact match. I believe some characters (such as
special characters used for comments) are ignored during the text
comparison, but others (such as periods and commas) may not be. The
bulk comparison function matches conservatively, so even a single
adjacent character difference will result in a non-match.
Others on this list should of course feel free to speak up if anything
I've said is incorrect. =)
Best regards,
Steve

Hello,
I would appreciate a little clarification on the bulk recognition
feature usage.
From what I understand, bulk clarification allows one to clear the
files with a specific license whenever a given (license) text is
found inside, I have seen it work that way before.
However, the behavior I have (with the latest version, reproduced
on the demo server) is that although the bulk engine seems to have
worked, (entry in the Bulk History) for a given file, its status
is not cleared (ie. Clearing decision type is not checked) (see
attached image)
Is there something I misunderstood ?
Many thanks for your help,
Nicolas
