When turning off auto-complete history, delete history file #14245

Open PwnIn opened 2 years ago

PwnIn commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

My suggestion is that if there is a function that can erase the history of PowerRename, that would be wonderful.

Scenario when this would be used?

It was about privacy, so I do not like others to see the history of the PowerRename, I can clear the history after I open it up.

@PwnIn In PowerRename settings, you can disable the search history: image

I'm aware that this is not the same as erasing the history, but might be of help :)

@PwnIn does turning off history solve your ask?

@PwnIn does turning off history solve your ask?

Kind of, because it actually does not delete the history when I turn it back on.

Anyway, I can close the issue, and this could be nice advice that you can add it later on. Thank you~

The histories stored in C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerRename\ replace-mru.json and search-mru.json

Thank you so much, @fangjzh! Editing these files got me rid of my previous powerrenamings.
