+cliptwings Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I've researched this question and cannot find an answer, so I ask you folks who are smarter than I am. I know the process of placing an "ignore" filter on caches you don't want to see or download in a PQ, but is there a way to do this for ALL of a particular CO's caches? The reason I ask is because I am becoming increasingly frustrated with one CO in my area who has published hundreds (and I MEAN hundreds) of caches which are exceedingly difficult for me to find, plus other reasons I won't go into. Rather than look at this huge clump of unfound caches on my geocaching map, I would rather delete them from my view. I could, of course, delete them individually, but the process would take hours. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Groundspeak handles the Ignore List like every other Bookmark list. So, any App that is aware using Groundspeak's Api should be able to do a bulk upload to the Ignore list. I know it works with GSAK. Hans Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Also, if the cache owners you're ignoring keep hiding new caches, then those new caches won't be ignored automatically, and you'll need to keep running whatever third-party tool you're using to ignore their caches. And no, you are not the first to ask for the ability to ignore all of a particular cache owner's listings. Quote Link to comment
+Mockingbird559 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I use GSAK for this, in a script I wrote for just that purpose. Works great. Now GSAK does have a bit of a learning curve, but for me, after the initial exposure, I wondered what all the fuss was about. Cache Happy Quote Link to comment
+cliptwings Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ah yes, GSAK! I have and use GSAK all the time. I just never thought of using it to filter cache owners. Thanks for the great idea! Quote Link to comment
