| Jason 03/12/2004 4:03pm | Was reading the i.Scribe help file, and came across something interesting:
------------------lgi.conf options------------------ On shutdown options: <scribe on-close='option'> Where 'option' can be: * 'Minimize' zooms the window down to the taskbar. * 'Compact' compacts the folders and then exits. ----------------------------------------------------- Does this mean there's a way to make i.Scribe automatically compact the folders when it exits? That would be a great feature ... rather than having to manually compact folders. If there is a way to have it automatically compact, how do I set that up? I searched for a lgi.conf file in my i.Scribe folder & didn't see anything. I have also looked through the options & didn't find anything related to auto-compacting either. |

| Jason 03/12/2004 7:44pm | FYI, for anyone else that does this ... that auto-compact DOES automatically remove everything in your TRASH folder as well. Not sure how to turn that off/on ... but it's fine with me. |
| fret 03/12/2004 9:03pm | The auto-compact clears the trash folder. Otherwise it wouldn't reduce the size of the folders file by much. This option was designed to keep you folder size at a minimum for users on a disk size budget (e.g. flash card). I'll make sure this is documented in the help. |
| Michael 04/12/2004 9:59pm | This is a terrific feature; thanks for pointing it out. Scribe always loses its place as the window-on-top after I compact folders, so it's nice to get this done when exiting the program. |
