Thanks.
Still didn't clear search history.
Did you try the portable? Not talking about logs - I said it didn't clear search history, but it's ALSO not clearing logs for me, in the path \MultiCommander_win32_Portable_(6.9.1.2306)\Logs\) -
if those are the logs supposed to be deleted. There are multiple, recent logs left.
It's not deleting search data in (at least) the last 2 portable versions. Before those versions, I didn't test Help>Clean up user data, & then check results.
I extracted the latest version again - to a different folder. THIS time I didn't make any config changes before I tested the cleanup function (just in case).
Skipped past 1st screen where it asks which look & feel you want.
Entered a path to D: for location, & used partial file name option.
Used Help > Cleanup user data. Checked "Logs, history & session info" box - then OK.
On next warning screen I clicked Remove. Closed MC.
Reopened MC & the search UI - the unique path location & search term I just entered are still there (see screen shot).
Other than that, I don't know what to do about the menu cleanup function not working.
The data for search location & terms are stored in "MultiCommander_win32_Portable_(6.9.1.2306)\SessionConfig\History" in an ini file: bb34636789224963bbde35059dca2365.ini
What encoding is used for this data in the ini file under "LastFilter"? That appears to be where search terms are stored.
Now in v6.9.1, the searched location list that's retained in clear text (after clearing data & closing MC) keeps growing. (see screen shot).
