Introduction

geocaching.com users can use the 'drafts' page to upload drafts from a GPS unit. Typically you upload your list of drafts from your GPS unit, then go through the list and write full logs from this list. Occasionally, such as when you switch from one GPS unit to another, you can end up with drafts that are duplicated, i.e. You have a found draft for a cache that you have already logged as found. If you have a lot of finds on one of the GPS units you can end up with a substantial number of duplicated finds in your drafts list. If some are actually still unlogged, it can be very laborious to manually go through and check the ones that have already been found. This script makes that process much simpler.

Operation

This script works by adding a "Select caches already found" button on the drafts page. Once you press this button it will go going through each 'found' draft, opening the link, looking to see if the cache has already been found, and ticking the draft in the main list if it has. You may then delete all the already logged as found drafts by selecting the 'delete' button.

Please note

The displayed list of caches in the drafts list is dynamically filled. When you first open the drafts page only the first 10 to 20 caches are listed. You need to drag the scroll bar on the right of the page down to fill the page with all your finds drafts. You need to do this before you press the "Select caches already found" button. You could of course also run the script, delete the processed ones, then run the script again.

Limitations

this has only been tested on a recent version of Windows 10, Chrome, Tampermonkey, and using English. It only select drafts that are listed as found in the drafts list, and have already been logged as found. It does not select 'did not find', 'write note', or other log types. I don't usually have that many of those, so they are less troublesome to manually delete, but this could be added if you are interested.
