Kataloger
This was inspired by
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 86&sid=bd4
"I want to use XYplorer as a library cataloging program"

It started out as an experiment/something to do. Procrastination soon appeared.
I have been procrastinating so much, it actually took me three weeks to even get started. It didn't stop there, I have
more than taken a week to decide to post.

I have never written any html so I have to thank Stefan for his excellent tute.
http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... ial#p93385
"Script Tutorial Request for sc HTML, INIT/Terminate"

For those interested this was fully created on a Win8.1 7" tablet.
This script has NOT been thoroughly tested and has not even been near XP.
So if you are running XP please let us know whether or not it works okay.
If anyone finds a bug or can suggest better coding I am sure we can all benefit.

It was designed to use 32 custom columns, but I have thought of a way to swap info.

INSTRUCTIONS
Just extract to scripts folder, it can all be run from the "Kataloger" folder.
There is a "columns" folder which you can move upto the "Data" folder if required.

When first run you can choose either "save" or "start new".
If you then run "goto" it will open a folder created when you "start new".
It will also show 2 extra tag columns (which might be useful).

I used Shadowcats to give me a basis for "CD's".

"Shadowcats(beta)" by SammaySarker
With the folder named as album title and moved to "CD's" folder.
Then each track renamed and the extension changed to txt.
At this point I scanned the front cover and placed in the folder. I named it "folder.jpg".
All album folders & there files were then tagged.

Next comes "Change Column headers", my first try at html.

I've put a range of column layouts next(just as a guide).

This then leads naturally to "start inputing data". Initially you can only select 100 items.

this image shows half of the columns with only one track selected.
IyD-2.jpg

this image shows the other half of the columns with multi tracks selected.
Note: "<varied>" in the input. This is to indicate that these columns will be left as they are,
unless you alter them.

The next commands other than "Load" are extras (more procrastination and maybe useful).


I am hoping that if this isn't useful that maybe some of the code will inspire.

These changes are all due to the Enhancements created by Don.
- Increase to 64 Custom Columns - 64 items of info available.
- Introduction of Tagexport() and Tagload() - makes Kataloger more stable.
- Extra flags to Copyto - makes overwriting straightforward.

Every section has had minor tweaks (if only to make it more easily readable).

@klownboy Hi Ken your post made me smile.
Had me worried for a mo thought I'd double geed somewhere (checked of course).
Then I thought maybe something to do with "Yuletide logs".
Seriously you can call it / use it / change it, however way you want.
The only thing I would like is if it can help someone else, it's posted.

HI, I have tried to use your script but it didn't fit my needs. Now I cannot uninstall!!!
It has changed my titlebar and it is contantly recreating a kataloger folder in my scripts folder.
Any suggestions?

It is constantly?

How do you invoke that script?

After stopping it from being executed, change back your title bar to the default value:
Configuration | Templates | Titlebar

Code: Select all

<path> - <app> <ver>

Hi highend and thanks for the help for the titlebar.
I have used a toolbar button to invoke the script in the first place.

If this is still executing and you don't press the button for it, it's either
- A keyboard shortcut is assigned to the script / button
- XY is invoked with it (via /script=) command
