English Scripts

Hi all,

Is there a possibility to use a script to remove voice track automatically after for example 7days from disk and database.

Hi Ron,

are you looking for a script that can be run out of the database or an additional option in the configuration (database -→ maintenance) as a feature request?

Hi Uli,

Looking for a script that can be run from the database or by marlist event scheduler.
We are recording about 1000 voicetracks a week but we are using them only once.
Cleanup database is a must in my opinion, for the files on disk I use an batch file to delete files.

BTW, thanks for the offer

This is clearly a task for some Windows accessories. I know there are some around, but don’t recall their names right now.

Hi,
You can do this with the windows command forfiles.
e.g.: forfiles /D -10 /S /M *.mp3 /C “cmd /c del @file”
This will delete all mp3-files older than 10 days in the folder where you execute the command.

Of course, it’s possible to put this command in a .cmd-file and schedule this with Windows Task Scheduler.

Hi Marckxz,

Forfiles is exactly what I use now, but the reference in the database remain.
Maybe I should explain the question differently.
I’m looking for an (automatic) script that deletes the voicetracks from the database after 7 days.
