How can I edit the favorites.json file to remove a duplicate entry?
Thanks, John! I have a duplicate that I can't get rid of.
Even after an edit it's still there!
The launcher now saves two copies of the user's favorites.json file. The respective locations are:
1. {Sage 100 drive/unc and path}\MAS90\favorites\{windows user}\favorites.json
2. C:\Users\{windows user}\Documents\Sage 100\favorites.json
This was done to allow backups of Sage 100 to capture the user's favorites. It also allows a user to (windows) login to another workstation and still have access to their favorites. The one in the "Documents\Sage 100" folder allows the user's favorites to survive an upgrade/reinstall of Sage 100.
Anyways, when the launcher starts, the default favorites.json load order is as listed above. If your manually editing the one in "Documents\Sage 100", you won't see the changes if a favorites.json exists in the "MAS90\favorites\{windows user}" folder. That being said, you can easily remove a favorite item from the launcher user interface.
1. Go to Favorites in the navigation pane.
2. Right click the item to remove.
3. Select "Delete" from the context menu.

Hi Russell,
Anything you can share about 64 bit Sage ProvideX and OLE support? Is BOI running in 32 or 64 bit WSH?
Thanks, Russell! I was trying to delete it from the toolbar view.
