How to delete project

[Chuk_I_Gek]

Strange question but I didn't find answer any were... I finished to work on the project and now want to completely delete it from my computer, i.e. get rid of any files related to it. Of course I can delete corresponding directory manually, but is there way to do it properly from Edius, so project would disappear from the projects list?

short answer, NO
long answer, YES, but it is too time consuming, so NO

Does it mean that manually delete directories is the only proper way to get rid of the project?

correct

the only thing that remains is the dead file in the startup menu, it can be removed but requires a lengthy process so leave it, it will automatically vanish as you start new ones

alternatively, set the recent project preferences to 1, then you never worry about this

Anton is absolutely correct... I am not sure why folks care about the recent project as they disappear as new projects are started but it is a Reg hack to make them go away and I would NOT recommend it anyone.

If op searches the forum Op will find the answer. :)

Correct. It's not a registry hack, but rather an adjustment to the User Profile config file, that resides in the Windows XP User's folder structure.

Namely, the "C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Canopus\EDIUS\4.00\CurrentSettings.EXT" file.

But yes, mess around with this file at your own peril. You'll have to delete it completely if you break it, to generate a correct file.

K,

I think that should be currentsettings.esp

Ah yes, I was thinking of "cnpsedufet4d.EXT" which you do not want to touch at all.

Dangerous. ;)
