Title: Deleting Saved Views
Post by: paulspot on April 05, 2021, 10:34:59 AM
All,

Apologies if this has been asked before.

How does one delete saved views?

Having moved around a fair bit with the job, I have settled at last and having got the kit up and running, I would like to delete all the old saved views.

Saving new or overwriting views is easy, but I cant for the life of me find an option to delete them.

Find the BaseStation.ini file (should be in the BaseStation root folder), open it with a text editor, such as Notepad, and delete the views under [SavedViews]

See attached.

Make a copy of the ini file beforehand just in case things don't go to plan.

Got it, thanks Anmer.

Looks straightforward.

Will try later.

Hi Anmer and Paul.

Is it possible to move some location data from one old SQB file to a new SQB file ? :)

Cheers Pete

What are you wanting to achieve?

The selected Location is attached to a BaseStation Session and can't be changed.  But one can set and save other locations within BaseStation.  So, if you use BaseStation at different locations, one can select the saved location for that place. Using the correct Location is important as it's used to decode messages from aircraft on the ground.  And if one views the database in Reporter, one can tell which aircraft were deteected and where.

Merging Sessions from one sqb file with another is not easily achieved.

Hi Anmer. :)

Many thanks for this and is the outcome i imagined. I was attempting to move data from an old laptop containing all my caribbean logs to my current computer.

I haven't come across a process for merging two sqb databases files where both have Sessions.

Merging one with only aircraft data into one with aircraft data and Sessions is possible:
