Clear usage history

[sl23]

Does Mc clear history on close? Is there a way to do this if Mc doesn't do it automatically?

As I've already said,  my file manager needs are quite simple compared to many users here, but Mc has so far really impressed me and have to say you've done a great job Matthias.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That sounds like it clears all User Data,  like settings, layout,  etc? Is that just for history? Such as browsing history,  or search history for instance?

You select in the dialog that pops up

Ok I just tried it and it strangely bought back the standard toolbar? Is that because that 'setting' to hide that toolbar is part of a Session?

I also lost Tabs due to being part of a Session, perhaps History and Session deletion should be seperate? In fact, wouldn't it be better to have each item as a list with check boxes? that way you could choose individually which requires deleting rather than picking a group and having to delete something you don't want to.

It is because you did not disable the toolbar, You only hide it.
You disable it in settings. You can hide it temporary from the menu

No. Most people who want to delete stuff like this want it all gone.
Else you can delete selected data your self.. Just create a script that clear it out.
Or run in portable mode all session and history data is stored in the portable folder and not under the user account.

Ok fair enough. After looking at the portable folders, I see there's one for History and the .ini files contain settings for Session so I presume the two are interlinked making it difficult to delete one without the other? I would like to just clear browsing history alone, can that be done easily?

Thanks

The files in History are for historic data.

[sl23]

Yes but they aren't just for the browsing history, but the entire history, there's no segregation is there?

[Mathias (Author)]

All kind of historic data is stored there.  Every plugin/extension have there own file there
