+uraca Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Is there some way to eliminate caches from the Cachemate file converter. Have received pq and can see some caches I do not want to convert and/or down load to pda. Is there some way to delete items from this list so only have to convert and download a short list? I asked about this in the Beginners forum and was given idea that the pq could first be given to GSAK for this kind of editing and then the result given to Cachemate. Would like to skip having to filter through GSAK if possible. If not will do it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+TresOkies Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Well, you could use GSAK to do the filtering _and_ generate the CacheMate database. GSAK has the cachemate database export function just like CMConvert does. -E Quote Link to comment
+uraca Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Does CM convert have a way of deleting caches from the list? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+NightPilot Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 No, CMConverft just converts the gpx file to Cachemate for Palm. It doesn't do sorting, filtering, or anything else. Get GSAK. It's free (donation suggested) and it works. You really need it. From GSAK, after you've done your filtering, you click one icon and the Cachemate file is generated. I have it go directly to my SD card in my card reader, so there is no hotsyncing required. I just put the card in the Palm, run Cachemate, and Cachemate imports the new file. Quote Link to comment
+JeremyA Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Uraca - In CMConvert, whilst you can't select the caches that you want to delete, you CAN select only the caches that you want to keep (thereby deleting the ones that you don't want). Cmconvert on the command-line has relatively good filtering abilities (GSAK uses cmconvert to do its conversions too) and the last time I tried the windows GUI there seemed to be access to most of the filtering options there too. The makers of cachemate (Smittyware) have a forum on their website which is probably a better place than here to get the answers that you want. JeremyA Quote Link to comment
+Wacka Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 The OSX version MacCMConnect does the same thing. you can select which caches in the PQ you DO want loaded to cachemate. Quote Link to comment
+uraca Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks for both of the two above. Had use the quick guide to Cachemate and blindly followed the steps which work well for general use. Looks like I can do exactly what I want by just selecting the caches I want to have loaded. Very useful tip. Quote Link to comment
