how to clean up history directory

[starfire151]

I'm using V4.028 of PCWHD. I noticed one of the additions to the latest versions is the automatic creation of a history subdirectory. Actually its been there for a few revisions now. This directory gets very full if you are doing a lot of iterative development.

Is there a way to clean up the contents of the directory? Can you just delete the directory? How do you enable or disable this functionality? I looked in the help menu but there was no mention of "history" with search. Is there a document describing the normal operation of this functionality?

Thanks.

You want to delete the Search history. I don't have the CCS IDE, but
for example, there is Search history list in the drop-down box for this
forum. If you enter a character it will show your previous searches that
began with that letter. To delete one or more, you can just move your
mouse down the list, highlight the one you don't want and press the DEL
key. It's possible that the IDE may work the same way.

I think it's more of a revision history. There is a new copy of modified and saved files made with a sequential number suffix. The sequential files (when opened with an editor) are the files before the latest modifications and saves. This could actually be very beneficial for maintaining a track of all the changes made during development but if you don't need that functionality, it's just taking up room.

I've looked at the "History" menu selection and it doesn't address all the files in the directory.

I just thought there might be a description of this functionality somewhere so I could tailor it for my uses.

OK I'm sorry. You're talking about a revision history.

Go to Options=> IDE then select General to enable/disable Keep File Change History and the number of files.
