I am a Trackstat user. I recently restructured my library of FLAC files, and the complexity of the restructuring has meant that neither restoring my latest (pre-restructuring) scheduled backup of Trackstat nor the option to "Find alternative files" is successful in salvaging all of my Trackstat data. Both those efforts have probably just made things worse. So, I'd like to make an absolutely fresh start with Trackstat, as if I was installing and using it for the very first time.
I'd appreciate any help you can give in answering these questions: 1. What procedure can I use to achieve an absolutely fresh start with Trackstat? For example, could I achieve this by doing something as "simple" as deleting the persist.db file and other files? If so, where would I find such files? I have tried "Delete unused statistic" and "Remove all data" followed by a rescan, but thanks to the persist.db (I guess) the deleted, incomplete data come right back and subsequently entered ratings data don't "stick." I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Trackstat, but that hasn't worked either, maybe because a newly installed Trackstat "finds" and uses old files that weren't uninstalled. Thus my desire to make a fresh start. 2. Once I have achieved a fresh start with Trackstat I'll of course want to do scheduled backups as I did in the past. I'll have no problems browsing and selecting the directory where I'll have read/write privileges. But although I've successfully done scheduled backups in the past, I can't remember how to create (?) the file that will store the initial backup of data. I know that the scheduled backup files are .xml files, but surely I can't just use, say, Notepad to create a blank file with a .xml extension (e.g., tsbackup.xml) and expect Trackstat to write the initial backup to that file, can I? I don't remember creating such a file in the past, so I'm wondering if Trackstat automatically creates such a file on its own the first time a scheduled backup occurs. Thanks in advance for your help. Stay safe... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish112's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11591 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113844 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
