+2LuknF8 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 How can I do a PQ that contains all my finds? I have cached in a couple of states and would like to create a database of all finds. However, the PQ requires a country (other than US) or a state. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment

Any help would be appreciated. run several pq's and merge the files Edit:Watcher will do this,and i think GSAk also.Sure to be others too! Edited February 17, 2004 by fivegallon Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Well, if you have less than 500 finds, you can simple either click on the top state on the list, then scroll to the bottom and "shift-click" on that one, selecting all states. Or, you can cntrl-click on individual states to select multiple specific states. If you have more than 500, you've gotta run a couple PQ's Link to comment
+Stunod Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You won't get any archived caches...at least not yet. Jeremy has said he will eventually allow archived caches to appear in "Caches I've Found" PQ's Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 The difficult thing will be when you go over 500 in one state. Then you will have tp break it up by cache type or placed date. Also, if any caches that you have found have been archived, they will not currently show in a PQ. Link to comment

Jeremy has said he will eventually allow archived caches to appear in "Caches I've Found" PQ's I'm definitely looking forward to this feature. Hopefully this is implemented soon. --RuffRidr Link to comment
+2LuknF8 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks! You have answered my question. I guess I had better get that db together now to insure that I can keep all my finds intact. Thanks again. Link to comment
+2LuknF8 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Just tried the shift-click on all states and came back with no results. I guess I will have to run for all the states I have done and then merge with either Watcher or GSAK. Tedious but doable. Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Make sure that you selected the states/provinces radio button. This PQ will work. I recently did the same thing you are trying to do. Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I have a gut feeling that this feature is soon to be on the table. I've said it once before, but it was hidden in another post, so I wanted to suggest it in the appropriate place. Rather than limiting it to only those caches I've found, I'd like to have the option of getting a PQ for all those caches I've logged. I'm just as (or more) interested in my DNFs as I am my finds. Also, caches where I've left a note are of interest too. So, if and when this feature becomes available, I hope that there is some option to include all caches I've logged. Jamie Link to comment
+G-Squad Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Some time back, someone posted instructions on how to import your caches found page into Excel. The results were nowhere near PQ quality but at least it listed the cache, state, and whether it was found, dnf, or note. At the time, I tried it and it worked great with some minor tweaking. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find the instructions to make a link. Fortunately, I previously made a paper copy of the instructions and still have them. I tried using them again but it's not working right. I think it is because the formatting on the found page has been changed and I also upgraded to Office 2003. If you are interested, I will try to rework the instructions so they will work. Link to comment
+Wadcutter Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Why not just go to your "user stats" page and click all your found caches, then DL them? Link to comment
+Monkeybrad Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I would love to be able to get all my found in a PQ, and have asked for it a couple of times. I would love to be able to get all of my found caches into Mapsource or a similar mapping program so I could track my travels. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a good solution on how to do this. Even if we could only get one a month or something like that I would love to have this option available. Actually, I just thought of a solution, if I could get a one-time query of all my finds to date, I could maintain it from then on, I just let it get out of hand. If I hada a current starting point I could work out the rest. Link to comment
+planetrobert Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I downloaded ALL(i had time to kill) the caches that I have found and are archived in individual GPX format. NEXT I got my All found PQ NEXT I merge all the files into one GPX file NEXT I confirm that all the records are there. NEXT I setup a PQ that I can run WEEKLY or the day after I go caching that gets all my FOUND caches THAT HAVE been found in the last week NEXT I use GPSbabel to merge that latest GPX and my all found one removing any duplcates.
