Editing the history

[jonathan_ep]

In the past we have had some email alerts that have stopped going out because of a dropped connection, then when maxbulk tries to reconnect it creates a record in the history to show that fact. These cases now account for 90% of our history even if they only are around 2% of our emails sent. Is there any way to delete individual/multiple history items without wiping the whole history?

Do you mean you want to remove delivery entries from the history list window?

 

[jonathan_ep]

yes but only specific ones.

 

[stanbusk]

You can do that manually editing the file "~/Documents/Maxprog/MaxBulk Mailer/Deliveries/Deliveries.log" with Free TextWrangler. Be carefull not to break the whole file.

I am assuming to edit this successfully I remove each bit completely so for example to delete the top one of these I should be left with:

Each delivery is a line, with TextWrangler you can very easily delete such lines.

Thanks for recommending textwrangler it was so much easier than using textedit or smultron
