Old downloads showing on the Par2 tab?
« on: May 13, 2021, 01:55:41 PM »
Have a bunch of old downloads showing on the Part2 tab in the main program. I manually delete them from the tab, but they return the next time the program runs.   How do I permanently clear this old data?

Something is wrong with writing permissions. Close altbinz, locate misc/par2info.abz and delete it.

This continues to happen.  Deleting the file in question when it does is simple enough, but is there something that I'm doing on my end to cause this?  What info can I provide to help investigate?

Simple test - delete file, run altbinz, put something in par2 tab, close altbinz, enter it again - is entry in par2 tab there?

It's not every time, sometimes the par2 history seems to delete itself, sometimes, infrequently, it does not.

I have the program set to shut itself down (only itself, not the computer) upon queue completion.

Could you switch to manual shutdown for a while and post results?

No pars have been "stuck" since changing to manually shutting down the program when all downloads have finished.  So, yes, the issue appears to be related to the self-shut down feature.
