I can't change the colums to Activity Type or ActivitySubType

[Matthias Warmbold]

Hi,

where can I change the Time Column to Activity Type? I Tryed it with the file  athlete-preferences.ini. But after a change and a new start of foldencheetah insteed of the activitity type i see the file-value.

Where can I find some documentation about that or better how can i change the Time row in the activities table?

Thank you

It is explained in the users manual:  https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Side-Bar_Activities-view, you can find this information using the help menu: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Menu-Bar_Help and this is explained in FAQs too.

Thanks for your response,
yes at first I tried that method discribte in the article that you've  send me, but it didn't work,. I can't choose the workout Code, because it isn't available so I tryed it with editing the athletes-preferences,ini  file, which also didn't work.  After starting GoldenCheetah again it displays the directory in which the workoutfiles are saved. The same with some other names.

Maybe I should, remove the .goldencheetah directory, and start goldencheetah 3.7.1 again

It looks like a problem with Data Fields configuration, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-DATA#where-is-metadata-configuration-stored

Hi,

thanks, I copyed the metadata.xml into .goldencheetah and into my .goldenheetah/myName of my homedir. Now I can choose the Workoutcode, ... but the result is a bit funny.

Hi,

I think, there is somethingelse wrong. If you see in the picture I removed the WorkoutCode and the column Sport and under the dateField I can see the Notes from Strava.
