SDRTrunk Deleting Alias Lists in SDR Trunk

[JimmyJet727]

I've scoured the forum and Google for this question but could not find an answer. In the screenshot you will see an alias list in the drop down called YC SWAT. The list is empty because I started to create that alias then realized the SWAT TG's are encrypted. On the right side you will see that Delete is greyed out. So I can not delete that YC SWAT alias list. I thought there might be a workaround by editing the default.xml playlist file but no luck. BTW this is a Linux computer. Any suggestions?

Delete every alias within the list, then restart the software and it will be gone. There is no way to directly delete the list itself, the software cleans them up once there are no remaining entries for a list.

Thanks but I've tried that countless times. It's not a big deal. I'm just a little OCD about being tidy.

I'm not sure what version you are using but on version 0.6.1 there is a delete alias list. If for some reason you need an older version maybe download the new one unzip run it delete the list exit run on other version

Thanks Dave. I am indeed running 0.6.1 on Linux Mint which does not have a rename or delete option. Again, not a big deal, but I would sure like to clean out some empty alias lists.

If you want zip the xml (playlist) and send it to me with the alias list you want deleted I'll delete it and send it back

Oh you are a true gentleman. Let me get my uncooperative little girl to bed first. Might be tomorrow before you hear back.

No problem, I am working today do it might be a bit before I send it back

As a follow up that may help someone else, I discovered a solution (workaround?) for deleting an unneeded alias list. Again for clarification, this is a Linux machine running sdrt version 0.6.1.

In addition to the suggestion above, I also had to delete the *channel* that was created from the alias list - then software restart - and the alias disappeared.

All good now and thank you to everyone who helped.
