Clearing history

Post by can2002 »

Hi there,

I have been trying to remove entries from the history log, but they come back each time.

I have tried doing it two ways:

* Firstly, selecting items and then right-clicking and deleting (Delete video from the history log)
* Secondly, selecting the items and then clicking the "Remove selected videos from download history log" button in the bottom right

Each time I clear out the log, but every time I go back into it, all previous downloads are listed.

Am I missing something obvious?

What videos do you select in the list from Link Finder or copy/paste mode?
Wich video type and from what website were detected?

Hi there,

There are various, but for instance, I have just opened the link finder in Chrome mode, browsed to youtube.com and then downloaded a small video.

I then clicked the History button in the main app window, which showed the latest youtube video at the top of the list (480p - MP4 DASH). I selected it then clicked the "Remove selected videos from the download history log" and the item was removed. If I then exit and re-open the "Video Download History" the same video is back at the top of the list...

OK, so as suspected I just missed something obvious - you need to click 'Save Changes'...

Posted here in case someone else makes the same mistake!
