@STU question on the Shrink Dataset Function.
I'm getting "QL appears busy (try again later)" Any advice for me other than rinse and repeat?

thank you,
KK

   It means the Quote Loader extension is doing something. Or do you have the QL gui open? What happens if you restart MD first?

   If it’s still happening, please check/update Toolbox and QL extensions (menu extensions/manage extension/update), restart, try again. Then launch toolbox. Options enable debug, then try shrink. Then send me help/console output. Turn off debug afterwards.

   thank you STU, a subsequent restart did resolve it, i tried that once, but should have had more patience. Output:
   Dataset was 72.7MBs containing 569 files
   Dataset now 37.8MBs containing 17 files
   ...reduced (34.9MBs) (552 files)

   Shrunk nearly 50%! Thank you Mr. Toolbox!
