I have a large project with several targets. I tried to use filesets to copy files, but since these are all in different locations, I need to create a new fileset each time. I have a massive number of filesets and it takes time to keep them all straight.

Since I only use each fileset once, I would like an option to delete a fileset when finished with it or a way to redefine an existing fileset so that I don’t have to maintain such a large list.

Hi Cristina

Good suggestions, we’ll take a look a look at this. Deleting may be problematic due to how they are designed, however redefining may be possible.

If you have a lot of filesets then they are also potentially using a lot of memory, so we really should at the very least find a way to to clear the fileset from memory.
