show orphaned tag list

[calude]

hi

I had several occasion where I would have loved that the orphaned tag locations would be presented to me as a list to look at and even edit.
Instead of only propose to delete them.

tags are important information and they can be lost when files are moved by error. A find/replace on a orphaned tag list to set a new path is an easy operation

thanks

I did think about it yesterday! But I thought about automatic search function for orphaned tags on fixed drives. Something similar when a registry cleaner software tries to fixed orphaned entries...

Yes, I agree this is an important feature. And I added it, even something more poweful. With the next version you will have complete editing access to the tags database in memory!

I bow to your smartness and simplicity
thanks

Hi

testing...

a paste in the new tag editor fails

selected a set of paths
copy
went to a text editor to "find-replace" what had to be changed
come back to the editor
the set of path is still selected
Paste
the selection is removed but the paste left nothing

OK, I assume you hit some limit there. How many bytes has your tag.dat file? And how many tagged items do you have?

[calude]

tag.dat
88.1 Ko (90'260 octets)
439 items are tagged
29 orphaned tags

tag.dat
88.1 Ko (90'260 octets)
439 items are tagged
29 orphaned tags

That's nothing!

Hm, does anybody else have problems with the edit box (Editor Mode) in List Management?

Yep, same here.
In editor mode cannot add new line by pressing enter, the cursor does nothing just stays there blinking. But I can otherwise create new items in non-editor mode.

Tried the same with fresh install, no problems there.

I have 1649 items tagged. Maybe the editor mode stops working after certain number of items.

Update: in the fresh install tried pasting many path, does not go beyond 463 items here. Characters: 27799 (without spaces), 29074 (with spaces)

It works fine for me. However, I would have liked a search function as well for orphaned tags. Sometimes I don't know exacly where the file was moved to, so there is no point in editing before.
