Do not copy and paste the changes in links.def as shown above as your settings and numbers are most likely different then the ones i used here, just remove the 4 lines in your script by hand.
Don't forget to CHMOD both files afterwards in 755!
What it will do:
When you have removed the 3 folders "cool" "new" "rating" (you can of course also keep any one of them and in that case you just uncomment or dlete the appropriate portions in the 2 scripts above only) out of your main dir completely hit "build" or "build staggered" (or auto staggered) and you'll notice that the usual rundown of "new" and such stuff is no longer taking up time, script runs straight and quick through step 1.
Once finished with building check back into your main dir, the 3 folders will no longer be installed there by Links which will save you disk space or time to clean those 3 folders out of old crap.
Now some help for me please nayone????
i want to find out how to do a similar thing to the BACKUP!!!
I want Links2 to build only one backup at the time and delete any older ones as it builds a new new during any build process.
There has been a mod postet that promised to do just that, but it didn't work!
Any corrections to that one or a better one or just some new hints please.
