Tags - complete list

[TedL1972]

Hello,

I am trying to organize all my tags which I have not used in a while and so I may have forgotten some of the existing features.

I have been adding tags recently to documents but when I pull up the tag list those that I created in the past do not show up. I tried "Load Tags Database" but it didn't change the list. If I go on each document and I right click and then select "Add tags to Tag List" and it will add them.

SIs there a way to update the list so that it is a "complete list" of all the existing tags with just one command?

If not, what is the shortest way to make a complete list?

Thank you.

If you have got one of the tagging buttons on the toolbar such as "Add Tags", right click it "Update Tag List".

Great thanks. I thought there was a way to do it.

Another one if I may is that I have a script that automatically copies documents in folders when the document is tagged with the same name of that particular folder. I realized that when these documents are copied the tags are not copied as well. I do have checked the following:

Configuration | Information | Tags | Copy tags on copy operations

Is there anything else I should change so that the tags are always copied along with the document?

Post the script?

Code: Select all

$saveTo   = replace(trim(input("Enter Folder", "Input each folder on a new line!", "F:\FRUITS", "m"), <crlf>), <crlf>, "|");
  $tags   = replace(trim(input("Enter tag(s)", "Input each tag on a new line!", "Banana<crlf>Orange<crlf>Apple", "m"), <crlf>), <crlf>, "|");

    $copyList = "";
    foreach($tag, $tags, , "e") {
        $tagged = quicksearch("tags:$tag", "*", , "s");
        foreach($item, $tagged, <crlf>, "e") {
            $item = trim($item);
            $tag = trim($tag);
            if ($tag != $lastTag) { $copyList .= "<::>$tag" . <crlf>; }
            $dstFile = trim($saveTo, "\") . "\" . $tag . "\" . gpc($item, "file");
            if !(exists($dstFile)) { $copyList .= $item . <crlf>; }
            $lastTag = $tag;
        }
    }

    if !(regexmatches($copyList, "^([a-z]|\\)")) { status "No new item(s) found!", "8B4513", "stop"; end true; }
    $copyList = formatlist(replace($copyList, "<::>", , , , 1), "e", <crlf>); // Remove the first separator

    setting "BackgroundFileOps", 0;
    $count = gettoken($copyList, "count", "<::>");
    while ($i++ < $count) {
        $section = gettoken($copyList, $i, "<::>");
        $tag = gettoken($section, 1, <crlf>);
        $itemsToCopy = replace(gettoken($section, 2, <crlf>, , 2), <crlf>, "|");
        if ($itemsToCopy) {
            $copyToPath = trim($saveTo, "\") . "\" . $tag;
            copyto $copyToPath, $itemsToCopy, , 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, , 0, 0;
        }
    }
    wait 10;
    status "All new item(s) copied...";

Occasionally the target item will not be tagged when the source item has a tag and label.

Code: Select all

copyto "D:\T1\", "<curitem>", , 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, , 0, 0;

This seems to work fine:

Code: Select all

copyto "D:\T1\", "<curitem>", , 2, 2, 1, 1

[TedL1972]

Thanks.

Is this line of code:

Code: Select all

copyto "D:\T1\", "<curitem>", , 2, 2, 1, 1

supposed to replace this one?

Code: Select all

copyto "D:\T1\", "<curitem>", , 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, , 0, 0;

or does it need to be added? I try to run it both ways and I get errors in both instances.

Is "D:\" supposed to be replaced with the actual directory? What's T1?

[Norn]

I ran it again a few times and it happened again, it's an issue.

[admin]

You mean this?

Code: Select all

copyto "D:\T1\", "<curitem>", , 2, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, , 0, 0;

[Norn]

Both, happen occasionally. . .

[admin]

Foreground or background operation?
Custom Copy or shell copy?

[Norn]

Background operation
Custom Copy

[admin]

I assume background operation is a necessary condition for this issue to happen?

[Norn]

I unchecked both and it still happens.

[admin]

Both, happen occasionally. . .

Both? Which both?
