Unremoveable entries on Download list
 

There are two files on the Download list, which appear to have identical file names but different SHA1 IDs, that I cannot remove through the usual means. They persist beyond program shutdown and restart. Status is "Completed," and I have removed the files from my Download directory (there are no remnants in the "Incomplete" directory.)
This is not affecting program performance but is an annoyance I can't seem to get rid of! Should I try editing the .xml files directly? Any tips for doing that?

Using v 3.0.2

Please do the following:
- Shutdown Phex
- Delete your phex.error.log file
- Start Phex
- Try to delete both download file entries again
- Shutdown Phex
- Send me the phex.error.log file, in case it contains anything ;)

You can find the error file in the Phex configuration directory:
http://www.phex.org/wiki/index.php/Configuration_Files

You can try to edit the download XML file if you like. Make sure Phex is not running and create a backup before you do it. Always remove a complete entry starting with:
<swDownloadFile>
everything between
and ending with:
</swDownloadFile>

If it doesn't contain any other downloads you can also just delete the whole file.

No error log file written
 

Hello Gregor,

I followed your instructions, but no new error log was written. I didn't rename/save the old one but I do have a pre-existing file, phex.error.log.1 if you care to inspect it...

However, I did edit the .xml file as you recommended, which has of course removed the entries, and all seems fine, now. Thanks.
