Can't Remove from Ignore List

I am attempting to remove entries from my episode ignore list so that the ones I have acquired can be moved by the program into their proper place. No dice. Every time I do the remove, the list refreshes with no change at all. I can edit the XML file itself and it;s gone when opening the program again, but pretty sure doing the remove inside the program is the preferred method. I perused the issues list on the Google Code page and didn't see anything that I would say is this issue.

This is with 95 Series/~8000 episodes and just under 650 episodes in the ignore list.

I know that this post is very old, but I have the same problem in version 2.2.3.
I tried to delete some entries to allow renaming episodes once again and I had to do it by deleting the entries manually from the xml file.

hey people - had this issue in the past but there are workarounds. One is the XML edit that you have mentioned; the other ...

You can filter the list on show name and then when you delete it seems to work. Don't know what is happening in the background, but that always worked for me.

Good luck.

I actually did filter the list before trying to delete some entries and they were not deleted.
When I had tried it several times, it seemed to delete something else (my filtered list was larger than what was displayed on the screen and all displayed entries scrolled up), so I gave up and just edited the xml file.

After ScoopD post, I tried this again and saw at least one (additional) problem that might explain why we got different behaviors while using filtered lists.
This time my filtered list was small, but it had 2 entries for the same episode, located in different folders (the entries include the full path).
I selected the first of those entries, but when I tried to delete it, the second one (from a different folder) was deleted instead, e,g., the match seems to be against the name only, disregarding the selected path.
So the "filtering solution" might work, as long as you didn't move the location of your directory and then added your episode twice.
I sometimes have to add an entry again because the program seems to "forget" some entry (if pops up suddenly again after doing a Scan from the tab Scan).

I think that as long as this is not corrected, it is safer (if more cumbersome) to edit the xml file.

It is not a big problem - I just wanted to report it so it might be corrected in a future release.
