Tag Control

[binocular222]

A request from stanmarsh, maybe useful to others.
Similar to Flat File management attempt#1 http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... ent#p94487, this script add/remove tags, which are stored in filename in such format: "Base ~ Tag1, Tag2,"
If you don't want the popup menu, just call the script's label such as:

Code: Select all

load "TagControl.xys", "add"

ola binocular!

i found this filename tag system and like to use it instead of the built-in tag system, after thinking about it, the filename tag system is better suited to my needs because i can see the tags quickly and i can use another program to search for the tags.

i would like to request a feature for tagcontrol, i like to have a one click add tag / remove tag similar to the built-in tags, instead of showing a popup it will add the tag quickly in the filename.

how to do this?

TIA!

But he has already written how to do that in the first post?

If you don't want the popup menu, just call the script's label such as:

load "TagControl.xys", "add";

Using the "load "TagControl.xys", "add";" opens up a pop-up to select tags to add, what i'm looking for is the same function of the native tag system Click and Tag, you just choose files/folder then click the "Click and Tag" and it will add the Tag quickly without any pop-ups.

Ok, I see

This little script would do this. No fancy features, it just tags items with whatever they have behind the "~" delimiter...
It saves the tag database right after the tagging process itself.

Code: Select all

    foreach($item, <get SelectedItemsPathNames <crlf>>, <crlf>) {
        $tags = trim(gettoken(gpc($item, "base"), 2, "~"));
        if !($tags) { continue; }
        tagitems("tags", $tags, $item);
    }
    if ($tags) { status "Tags added!"; savesettings 64; }
    else { status "Items didn't contain tags, nothing done!", "8B4513", "stop"; }
