how do i clear the "number of times played" field in mala layout?

<< < (3/4) > >>

maddags:
Thanks SGT,

Will try this as soon as i get a day off!!!

ok, i tried this, and had mixed success.  i can make a new game list and add games from the main game list, and successfully use this method to clear number of plays.   however the game list that i actually care about will not clear.  i tried it on two different computers...i go through, it says it replaced 49 entries and then i save it, but the number of plays are still there.  i tried opening that game list in the editor and saving it as a different name, still nothing. this game list was created on an older version of mala, then brought over into the 1.0.4.5 version that we have now...i am assuming that is part of the problem.

i guess we will just have to make a new list...i just wish there was an easy way to do this.

Sorry to drag up such an old thread but has anyone ever figured this out?

Wade007:
Maybe I'm looking at this question in an overly simplistic way, but can't you just right click on the Mala menu you want to clear the count on and select "Refresh game list".

Whenever I do that on my Mala set up (IE: when I add new games) it zeros out the playcount for all the games in that menu.

That and SGT's method above would lead me to believe that the play count is stored in the gamelist (as are a lot of things in MALA).....

You can convert the gamelist to a simple text file using mlgconverter.exe from this thread:

Make the changes to the games you want, then convert it back.
That would allow you to do it on a per-game basis.

I'm not saying this works and don't have time to mess with it myself, but it's something to try.
Please report back if it works.  (I think it should!  ;D )
