Fuzzy Labels?

[Enternal]

So the way I set up my XYplorer is to have one central repository where all scripts, tag database, new items, and catalogs are all shared between all 3 computers. This is done using Admin.ini and some scripting files to keep them synchronized.

One of the things that I do a lot is using labels to keep track of files and folders that needs some work done on it. For example, on the local computer where the files/folders are located, I labeled I:\FolderToWorkOn red. This I:\ drive is actually also shared so it will appear on the network as \\NetworkComputer. I then go to another computer that night to continue to work on it but on this computer, the tags database have I:\FolderToWorkOn tagged as red and not \\NetworkComputer\FolderToWorkOn so it won't show up labeled as there is no such folder on this computer. So perhaps if there is something that allows wildcards to be used for lables such as *FolderToWorkOn where every folder named FolderToWorkOn will be labeled or *FolderToWorkOn* every folder with those words in in will be labeled. What do you think about this?

On an unrelated note, I have some folders that are made default for every new drive that I attached to the computer (Artbooks, Mangas, Misc, Music, etc) and I want to make sure that they stand out. I tried using color filters "Artbooks, Mangas, Misc, Music" but now every folder or items that have any of those words in in also get colored that way. I thought you must specify wildcards for that to happen but it doesn't.

EDIT: Found it. It can be done this way

Code: Select all

dir:*\Artbok;dir:*\Manga;dir:*\Misc;dir:*\Music;

So you solved it. We have Fuzzy Labels. Great!

Hahaha that solution was for color filters. I meant if it could be done for actual labels that are stored in the tag database. So:
XYplorer File Tags v2

Code: Select all

Red||FC7268;Orange||F6AB46;Yellow||EFDC4A;Green||B5D74A;Blue||5DA4FE;Purple||E29CDC;Grey||B5B5B5

L:\Games|1|||||
L:\Misc|5|||||
L:\Music|1|||||
L:\Other|5|||||

can be done as:

Code: Select all

XYplorer File Tags v2
Red||FC7268;Orange||F6AB46;Yellow||EFDC4A;Green||B5D74A;Blue||5DA4FE;Purple||E29CDC;Grey||B5B5B5

*\ANIME LATE|1|||||
*\Downloads|5|||||
*\Extras|1|||||
*\Games|5|||||

So now whether I'm looking at the folder from L:\, C:\, \\NetworkShare, those folders would be labeled red (I use the label column). This is different from the color filters that I had set up.

Ah, no that's not the idea of labels/tags. Tags are super-optimized in a way that forbids the use of wildcards. No chance, I'm afraid.

Ah got it haha. That's why I opened up this thread here instead of the wishes since it does seem a bit counter to the whole idea of tags and labels. Thanks!
