Hello All:
My use of workspaces was based on a false premise. I just checked out
something that I thought of while writing the last message.
Check out the third paragraph below. Amibroker does add the subsequent
imports to a temporary grouping and it is group 254. With this you can do
exactly what Tomasz says and it is much easier even than what I was
proposing. So I stand corrected and have learn that Tomasz had anticipated
my concerns before I even knew them. WOW what a program....
My assertion that the new stocks get lost in the jungle is not
correct. They are segregated into the group 254 for later handling.
Thanks again Tomasz.

I understand that the AQH files and the Amibroker database are two separate
things completely. The only reason I suggest to put the AQH and AQD files
into the subdirectory with the new workspace is to keep things in one
place. The only thing I have to copy is a the file for the listing of
stocks once. Everything else is automated by Amibroker.
If I use your technique and I add say 25 stocks and those 25 stocks are
some which I want to segregate from all the others (almost 300); once I
import them I have to go through each of the now 325 stocks selecting each
new stock I just imported so that I can move it to another new group. This
can be tedious to me. I have to make sure that I have my listing printed
out and go through the 325 stock listing selecting each one
individually. I have done this and after about the 12 or 15 stocks I
select I usually miss something and all the others get unselected so I have
to start over. Or I have to do the selecting process completely 25 times
to move those 25 stocks to a separate location.
The only way that I can see that your process as easier would be if any
subsequent imports from the initial workspace building import were to go
into a separate group such as "group 254" as a default keeping them
separate from all the others. This would allow the new 25 to be kept
separate until final categorization so that they could be selected and
moved as desired. Maybe this happens and I just have not observed this
before. Does this happen? Or do they all get dumped into the "All"
grouping where they get lost in the jungle so to speck and have to be
selected individually as describe above, which is my present understanding
of how things work. If a subsequent import does get placed into its own
temporary grouping where I can then move them into a particular grouping
then YES you are right my method is not needed. Forgive me if I have
overlooked this particular feature of Amibroker if this is the case.
