It looks like Mint is cleaning up rows from my visit table after about five weeks. Is it possible to make Mint stop deleting those old rows?
I’m using them in a custom pepper I wrote.
Thanks, Zack
Can I stop Mint from deleting old rows
Yes, just go to /mint/?preferences&advanced and change the “Remove visit data more than [x] weeks old” value.
I went to this advanced page, which I couldn’t find any link to anywhere else, and I set the “Remove visit data more than [x] weeks old” value to nothing. I then saved the page and Mint deleted all my data older than 24 hours. That was not good behavior. Software should never lose data based on a simple input error.
I changed the value to 999 and that appears to work. This is working for me now, but I would warn all users not to leave this value blank.
This is an intentionally hidden, advanced setting designed primarily for reducing the timeframe Mint retains data. I do not support extending it beyond the default timeframe. Mint was not designed to retain or meaningfully process the excess of data that extending this timeframe will produce.
