shchenka 7:39 | In the TMJ server in the waypoints page when you have selected all groups and click "delete duplicate waypoints in group", which group is affected, i.e. if there are duplicate waypoints in several groups which ones get deleted ? | |
Stephen 13:18 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Shchenka, Looking at the code (its a while since I wrote it!) the first waypoint as ordered in the displayed list is kept, with subsequent ones being discarded. Therefore if you sort the list by Group then the waypoint in the lowest group number (so the highest one in the group list box) will be the one that is kept, with others being discarded. (Note that sorting by Name or Type might result in a random pattern of deletion since the group ordering will then be lost) Hope that makes sense!! Cheers, Stephen | |
shchenka 18:50 | Thank you! It's good to know, as sometimes I tend to treat one group as a master, and others as temporary only, and would not like to loose the waypoints from the master in the deduplication process (and have to rebuild it then). | |
