Re: [phenixbb] deleting jobs in phenix

Thanks Nat! it becomes pretty messy when you have something like 5 or 10 (or more) useless jobs, and it becomes also pretty much disk-space consuming. Of course one could delete manually the directory, but then I guess the program would not very well deal with a missing directory (i.e. missing job's files). Flagging is a nice way to get around the messy situation, but I will appreciate the 'delete' button! Thanks again, all the best, ciao s On Sep 14, 2010, at 7:54 PM, Nathaniel Echols wrote:

sorry for the maybe silly question, but I don't seem to find a way to delete jobs from a project in phenix (I'm using ver. 1.6.2-473 on a MacBook Pro). The 'job history' tab on the main window does not allow that, so I was wondering if there's an easy way to do it.

The original idea was that you can't delete jobs, but you can "flag" the jobs you want to remember and hide everything else. I've forgotten what the original reasoning behind this was - in part, it's because deleting jobs makes later data-mining more difficult. However, this seems to have mostly just confused people, and I think it also slows down handling the project databases. I'll add the delete function in a future version - it accompanies many other changes that I need to test first, but hopefully this will be done soon.
