Clear Submissions/Downloads Queue button

Open Saortica opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

As the script currently works, once a source has been processed, the list of found submissions appear to be there for good and are in the queue, even on restart.

A button to clear queue would be great, in the case of changing mind or getting the source details wrong. Thanks :)

For now: I was testing pushshift and have thousands of posts I don't want to download lined up in the queue! Is the best way to reset queue to get a fresh version of the sql folder as first installed, and copy those back in?

There is currently no built-in method of removing queued Posts. The only way to do this without editing the manifest database (using SQL) is to remove the manifest file - or the download directory - and restart from scratch. It's not a great solution, but I (unfortunately) hadn't anticipated this issue.

This seems like a good idea. I'll add it to the backlog.
