Count original page as redirected page?

I'd like to replicate .htaccess Redirect entries in WebLog Expert reports.

Say I rename a web page and add an .htaccess redirection for the name change, e.g. Redirect /oldpage.html /newpage.html. Now I want WLE to likewise count all oldpage.html hits as newpage.html hits in all reports.

Surprisingly, there does not seem to be a way to do this in WLE Standard Edition. But maybe I'm missing something?

Yes, but I don't want to ignore /oldpage.html requests... I want them added to the /newpage.html requests, so that I don't have to add up those table entries manually in order to determine total page hits.

Anyway, thanks for your reply. Would be great if you could put this feature in a future version.

It's not possible to rename reported files in the program now. However, if you use .htaccess redirects, hits for /newpage.html will be recorded anyway (even if visitor requests /oldpage.html and is then redirected to the new page), so you can just count them and ignore requests for /oldpage.html.
