Recent Locations Be Gone!

[aurumdigitus]

Seek a quick and easy way to clear recent locations without having to go through Tools|List Management each time. Can this be done by a small script as a toolbar button?

I have an option for you (others may have more), this would create a new toolbar button that directly pops up the Recent locations list, but you would still have to press the clear button then the ok, if that is acceptable to you then you can try it out by typing:

Code: Select all

snippet;

into the XY addressbar and then pasting the below in the dialog that pops up.

Code: Select all

Snip: CTB 1

ScriptR
  
FireClick

Another option is not saving them at all which you can do via,

Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Include most-recently-used lists on save

Probably directly possible without an external helper script, but that window needs to be opened in all cases...

Thank you for your help everyone!

In working this on my own was able to get a Script to the Recent Locations box and that is where the impasse occurs. Greatly wish where was some kind of a script function to the effect of "Push Button Shown (Delete)".

Ah, if wishes could only do dishes.

It can, try this instead:

Code: Select all

    sendkeys "%c{ENTER}";
    #631;

Take a look at the ListManagementHouseCleaning script here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13948&hilit=listman ... secleaning. It automates the deletion of recent locations as well as most of the other LM items. The screen will flicker due to the in-your-face automation but it still works.

I have the script set to run on right click of a CTB where the normal left click is the Configuration, CID# 600.

@ highend -

Code: Select all

    sendkeys "%c{ENTER}";
    #631;

Maybe not the greatest thing since sliced bagels but close!

With sendkeys in the toolbox a new world to be explored opens up.

...and that's exactly how the script I referenced automates cleaning up the List Management items.

@ klownboy -

Yes that was understood. The 200+ lines of code was a magnum opus. What was needed was a simple laser sharp solution. Mine is rather a "less is More" approach.

That said, the script is now in the Toolbox for possible future implementation AND as a learning instrument.

[klownboy]

Yes, that was a lengthy script. I still use it once in a while to clean house on List Management items. They can get out of hand. Thanks.
