how to re-enable filters on posts in the download list

Postby johnchristo » Thu Feb 19, 2015 10:18 pm

I accidentally turned on 'bypass filters' for my entire (rather long) download list. But I know there are many items that are already downloaded so I would like to re-enable at least the duplicate checking for these files. Is there a way?

You could try sending them to the wish list, then sending them back. I'm not sure it'll work but it's worth a try. If that doesn't work you could generate and NZB with them, delete them, then re-feed the NZB to the download list.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I did try the round trip to the wish list - no luck. I'll see if the nzb method gives me what I want. Or 'downloads.db3' sounds like MySQL, I may have time on the weekend to take a peek and see if a manual tweak is possible.

It's Sqlite. www.sqlite.org.

There's a program in the install folder called "Sqlite3.exe" you can use to mess with the database. I'd make a copy first and play on the copy.

Glad you like it.

6.60 is really shaping up to be nice too. Lots of little issues smoothed away. I have periodic search working too but it won't be in the next beta. Dex and I are trying to asses server loading.
