Reseting a project does not eliminate imported images and generated CSV files

[Miguel-Hermanns]

When I reset a project, I see that the imported questionnaires (tif file) as well as the generated csv file remain in the project directory, so that importing a new set of questionnaires and generating a new csv leads to two tif files and two csv files (with an increasing counter in their names).

Shouldn't the reseting of a project also clear these files?

Hmm, I wonder how to handle files outside/inside the project directory though (i.e. the --no-copy option for add).

Of course, it is trivial to just delete all .tif files yourself. But I do see how it would be convenient and that it is kind of unexpected.

So, these days reset will delete all .tif files that are inside the project (not, however, if they are referencing a file outside of the project, which can be done using add --no-copy.

Other files, such as generated CSV files are not yet deleted. So, maybe that is still worth changing?

[Miguel-Hermanns]

I would probably delete de CSV files as well, for consistency. Or?

[benzea]

Yeah ... deleting all of the file types we would generate likely makes sense.

There is a slight risk of us deleting files that belong to the LaTeX questionnaire document, as we do not record what has been copied in using sdaps setup tex --add X.

Maybe the ideal thing would be to either:

1. Make reset ask for confirmation (and suggest making a copy first)
2. Add a setup existing or so command. So, conceptually create a new empty project instead of resetting an existing one.
