Re: Deleting files from Hoster

You don't have to delete files one at a time from the edit dialog, if you select the multiple tab then enter the wild card symbal * in the find box then press find it will list your whole library. Once the list is populated select the top item, hold the shift key then scroll down anywhere in the list then left click+ shift will select all tracks between the too selections then just choose delete. Note if you do a very long list it can take a short time to select them all so don't be impatient.

An alternative way and much quicker to clear all as if starting from scratch, from the Tools Menu select "Hoster Data Folder" now important close Hoster but leave data folder open. look down the list of files for "HosterInfoIndexed.ini" you might not see the .ini extention depending how your folder options is set but delete the file, then look for Songs.mdb and delete that also, again you might not see the .mdb extension it doesn't matter.
After deleting those two files close the folder and start Hoster and it should be cleared of all imports.

If you want the files on this new computer to match your existing and you have the 5.20 version there is a much easier way of setting Hoster up as a clone of your other system.

From the Help Menu you should see an option for "Backup/Restore" so if you select that in your old computer and create the backup file. Then copy the created file to your new computer open The Help "Backup/Restore" on the new computer and choose restore and select the file you just copied this will copy the whole setup including background colour to your new computer. Be aware that if doing this all your music file paths must match the existing, ie if your music is on the E/ drive on the old computer then you must make it match on the new one.
