Code to open Add or Remove 'Tag List...'

[kiwichick]

Hi there, I'm been creating custom buttons for my own tagging needs and you guys have been amazing helping me out with code. And although I have my own custom tags, I would still like to open the 'Tag List......' as it appears when opened from the default 'Add Tags' and 'Remove Tags' buttons (ie: it's not just the list but has checkboxes and will add or remove tags accordingly). Can someone please help me with the code for that? Cheers.

#882
#888
?

Oh geez, I don't know how the heck I managed to miss those Thanks yet again, highend. But the actual code would be great too

[highend]

What code?

[kiwichick]

Sorry, the script commands that are the equivalent to the Function ID. Aren't Function IDs shortcuts to actual script commands?

Like the function ID:
#234 = Edit | New | New Text File "New Textfile.txt" (Ctrl+Shift+N)

But the same is achieved by:
new("New TextFile.txt", , , r);

Aren't Function IDs shortcuts to actual script commands?

Only some of them.

#882
#888

are the actual commands that can be used in scripts. If you want something that extends / modifies these commands, you have to build up your own via "normal" scripting commands (inputselect, foreach loops to build up tag lists, etc.).

Yeah highend, I realise that and that was what I meant. I sort of understand about getting tags from items but I have no idea how to get the tags that are on the Tag List.

But, along a similar line of thought, can you tell me, can I assign a Function ID to a variable? So, for example, I could use #882 and #888 as the 'inputselect'?

how to get the tags that are on the Tag List

They are stored in the XYplorer.ini file. Section "Settings", label "TagsList".
Store the line in a variable (via getkey()) and use a foreach or while loop to build your own custom list (if you want that).

can I assign a Function ID to a variable?

No. They are commands and afaik they don't return any value.

[kiwichick]

Thank you very much for being so patient and helpful.

[kiwichick]

Thanks heaps, highend, The getkey() and Section "Settings", label "TagsList" were everything I needed. I've used them with inputselect and it works perfectly YAY!!!!!

Hi Kiwichick,

I'm new here and I'm looking for a way to search by tags:
I'd like to make a hotkey so that I get the window `Find by tags´ where I can tick the tags. It´s the same window that comes down when the blue label button is clicked. In fact, it´s the TAGlist where you can choose the tags to find.
I got an answer that the only option is to do it with a script
You can see the discussion in 'Tips & Tricks, Questions & Answers' called "Missing shortcut keys?!!"
I read your question and was wondering whether you had the same thing.
Maybe you have made a script like that, I'm not a programmer, so...

[kiwichick]

Hi Kees54, I also want to be able to use a 'hotkey' via a Function ID or ScriptCommand to invoke the "Find by Tags" window and I started a thread about it here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8670. Unfortunately Don says it's unnecessary so the script that serendipity has posted there is about the closest we'll get at the moment. But it isn't really invoking the "Find by Tags" window, it's just doing a search. Hope it helps a little bit. Maybe if you add a request to that thread Don might reconsider it in the future

Here's another small tag finder script that you can put into a button or bind to a key via UDC:
