the PQs then sort by last GPX .. This tells you what has been archived

the answer to all of life's questions! Thanks Brian! haha<br>
<br>
Wow, that is a tough question which probably would need a long tutorial
to properly address. I would recommend that they jump on the forums at <a
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://gsak.net/" target="_blank">gsak.net</a> and do some
research, then post their questions in there. A quick answer for one of
the questions though is "NO", GSAK does not have an automagic way of
determining what caches in your database are archived. That being said
there are somewhat automated ways of cleansing your gsak database(s). I
would again recommend <a
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://gsak.net/" target="_blank">gsak.net</a> for that
information. I myself just try to keep the nearest 500 caches up to
date by updating a few times a week and then checking those caches
where the "Last GPX" date is less than the date on the most recent GPX
file I've loaded. It's rather manual, but there are better ways.
<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
Jared of AZBliss02<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">For the last few years
I've been using various methods of translating GPX pocket queries (PQ)
into HTML which allowed me to take my GPS and palm device and go
geocaching without a bunch of paper. Last year I got GSAK which really
improved the whole conversion process and added cool features to the
process. Then I got a laptop and decided to show my wife the whole
process of converting GPX to GSAK to HTML to Plucker to Palm device.
She laughed so hard milk would have flown out her nose if she had been
drinking milk. Then simply said, "I have a laptop. All I need is that
and GSAK." </span></font></p>

<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Now that I'm GSAK centric
I've been wondering about how the best way to manage the GSAK
database. In the past I've had different database for every PQ. One
for home, one for Long Beach , one for Portland , one for the route
from SEA to PDX … It seems to me that one monster database might be an
easier way to go, I just need to figure out how to filter properly.
Also, I typically PQ only for active caches that I haven't found. I'm
only interested in the caches I can find (I learned my lesson of making
sure caches were active after doing a multi hour multi cache to end up
in the owners front yard with him telling me the cache was inactive for
the winter …) But I'm not sure how GSAK handles a cache that goes from
active to inactive or archived - do they get removed from the GSAK
database if they aren't in the GPX or does GSAK synch the database with
the GPX by updating the caches that are in the GPX and leaving the
caches that aren't in the GPX un-updated? </span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyway, this whole
question boils down to what are best practices for using GSAK? One big
database? Multi databases? Is there a CQ set-up that will improve my
GSAK usage, like should I set the PQ to show include my found,
inactive, and archived caches so GSAK can tag them properly? </span></font></p>
