How to clear search paths history?

by Marc-Andre Vachon · in Torsion · 08/05/2015 (11:52 am) · 2 replies

I'm wondering how I can remove unwanted paths from search in files history? Sometimes I'm able to clear the list but I'm not sure what I do for it to happen...

I'm pretty sure last time I got my paths history cleared by renaming my torsion project but now I can't get it to work. I tried with renaming project and files, moving the torsion file to another folder, creating a new torsion project, deleting torsion.opt and torsion.exports but none got my search paths history cleared.

I'm starting to think that's it's related to windows and torsion used some windows utility for the searching, Am I on the right path? If anyone figured a way to clear those search paths, please let me know!

Thanks

They're stored in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Torsion\preferences.xml file under <FindPaths> element tag.

Ahhhh thanks for the quick reply.

Now that it's fixed, is there a way to add relative paths or to set a global like "Project" or "Base Directory". For examples, I'd like to add a findPaths linking to the tools/ folder without having the full path from my HD root?

EDIT: BTW, what's the difference between "Base Directory" and "Project". They seem to search the same way, is there a way to make them different?
