Hello,
would it be possible to add to the WAPT console the ability to delete various older versions of packages in batches?
For example, to keep only the X (allowing the user to define the number of versions to keep) most recent packages for an application.
This would display a window containing a list of packages to be deleted, with pre-checked boxes so the user can deselect some and then confirm to start the deletion.

Hi Nicolas,

in the context menu of the private repository tab, you can choose "select obsolete packages." This pre-selects them in the list and allows you to deselect them if you want to keep some. However, there is no configuration option like "keep versions N and N-1."

The usability of this feature will be improved in a future version (development has been underway regarding this).

Best regards,

Denis
