Watch list - saves changes?

Postby Quah » Tue Dec 13, 2016 11:15 pm

Hi,
I found an odd problem with the Watch list that I hope is just my own misunderstanding.

When I create a watch list entry. Then go back and make a change, a topic rescan produces the old result. I've checked the newsbin.ini file and the changes I made are recorded correctly, but it still rescans the old setting. I tried restarting Newsbin, but I get the same result. The work around I found was to delete the entry, and re-create a new one, but being able to make changes/corrections would obviously be better.
Maybe it's just old cached data, or I'm missing something.
Thanks,
quah

Still using Win 7 and confirmed in 6.72 and 6.73b4

Rescan doesn't delete the old results, it just scans and adds. You might want to right click "Post Storage/Delete Stored Posts" before a re-scan.

I tested that multiple times, and that worked perfectly.
Thanks :)
