Imported private keys into client... how to rescan?

[PrintCoins]

How do you force the qt client to rescan. I imported a bunch of private keys using pywallet, started up the app, and the balance didn't update.

I am running on a mac, and can tweak whatever config files are needed.

Start with -rescan

Start with -rescan

How do you do that on a mac? I just run the standard qt app (I just click on the icon), not the command line executable. Can you open the qt app with that flag from the command line?

Is there just a file I can delete to force this?

Just launch the executable from the command line terminal appending the -rescan parameter at the end.

Yep, on a mac just do the following in terminal:

Code:

cd /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/
./Bitcoin-Qt -rescan

Thanks, worked great!
