Clean up Duplicate Calls with Whozz Calling
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:38 pm
Hi Bill,
How can I clean up duplicate calls in my call list, dumped by the Whozz Calling device into Ascendis on rebooting my computer?
This happens in two situations:
(1) on reboot after a computer crash, if Ascendis was open when it crashed. (it is nearly always open)
(2) on reboot after a manual restart with NO crash if I did not manually close Ascendis but allowed Windows to auto-close it.
In other words, Ascendis MUST be closed by hand on closing down the computer, otherwise this dupe-dumping behavior WILL happen upon reboot.
The dump can be a lot of calls, sometimes up to the past 2-4 days of calls, or 50 or more duplicate calls, appearing in the list.
I suppose it's set up this way so as to not lose any calls, which is good, but this goes overboard in the other direction!
In the past I tried Delete Duplicate Calls that used to be a menu choice which seems to be not there any more. The calls it deleted were mostly not the newly-dumped duplicates anyway.
Perhaps it's possible to have the dump be reversible in some way programmatically, however you'd do that.
This is using Ascendis Caller ID 2.3.0.26 on Windows XP SP3, with a Whozz Calling 2-line device.
Otherwise things are going great with the program.
Thanks! Debby
