In GS 7.0.3, Deleted Listings shows 0 items, because I just intentionally selected “Erase deleted listings…”. There are also no unsold items anywhere in my visible database at the moment.
However, a Smart Group showing listings showing listings where
"Status" "is" "Ended unsuccessfully"
Shows 11292 listings.
I suspect at least some of the sluggishness I’ve been experiencing since upgrading might be due to the ridiculously large number of phantom items. Is there a way to clean up or repair the database?
My guess is that there’s something wrong with that particular smart group. Can you please post a screenshot of its rule set so we can try to replicate the issue?
No, GarageSale 7 doesn’t know how to read your GarageSale 6 library. There is a special import utility that’s run on first start only and during file imports.
Any chance you could send me your library again via Dropbox? Do you still have the instruction I sent you last time?
Aha. Problem solved: I did not realize that every completed auction for the last 90 days was tucked inside a folder inside Imported Listings. As I understood Imported Auctions from GS6, it only downloaded auctions it found that were not in my db. So I assumed the 4 items I was seeing in that were actually four items, not the 12000 completed auctions from the last 90 days.
Really, the interface problem is this: the number of items shown in a folder should be calculated recursively. Otherwise, it’s very easy to miss large numbers of items nested inside subfolders.
