Ghost entry in Scheduler dashboard

[steve-dfw]

Have had this ghost entry for a while. Not sure what caused it to get created. If you click on the edit button it opens a blank config dialog on the right where all other entries have the config settings for that particular schedule. There is only the <<< button to close the entry. Have noticed that no entry below this ghost entry ever works. They have to be move above it. I tried doing the “rebuild” and uninstalled/reinstalled and the entry remains. I looked on the share and there are 5 json schedule files.

Hi @steve-dfw, allow me to say that your issue is very odd. You correctly check the presence of another JSON, that would be the only logical explanation.

EDIT: try to delete the sort.dat file

If it doesn't work, try the following:

• backup the JSON files and the option.dat from the share/simplescheduler folder to your computer
• uninstall the addon
• remove the folder simplescheduler
• install the addon and check that the dashboard is completely blank
• the setup process creates the simplescheduler folder again
• copy only the JSON files and check the dashboard. (you don't need to stop the addon, just reload the page)
• optionally copy the option.dat and restart the addon, but it would be better to set the option from the panel.

Let me know if it works.

That fixed it! I had already uninstalling the add-on previously, but did not remove the folder after the uninstall. This time after the install and folder removal, I reinstalled, started service, checked dashboard to confirm empty, copied back just the schedule item JSON files, and refreshed the page. The 5 proper schedule items were there as they should be.
The only thing I noticed that is different is that now in the folder there is no options.json file (only options.dat). Maybe that file was from an earlier version.
Thank you for the help!

option.dat will be created when you save settings on the configuration page. I'm glad you solved it!
