How to delete file path history in STM32CubeProgrammer

Hi

 

There is a file path window on the Erasing&Programming page.

I would like to reset the history because the path history increases every time I change the file I write.

Is there a way to reset the history?

 STM32CubeProgrammer Version:v2.16.0

OS:Windows11

Regard

Although there is currently no built-in option to delete the file path list within the STM32CubeProgrammer, it is possible to edit it manually in the file config.properties. There you will find a line beginning with downloadFileList= which lists the complete paths of the last files separated by commas. In Windows, this file is typically located in the directory

%USERPROFILE%\STMicroelectronics\STM32CubeProgrammer

%USERPROFILE% refers to your own user directory, where settings for various programmes are typically stored. Simply paste this path into the address bar of Explorer and press Enter.

Hope that helps?
