Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version:
Code: Select all
v23.80.0016 - 2022-11-30 14:50
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: TagCheck
Action: Checks and repairs the state of the current tags.
Syntax: tagcheck(flags, [include_removables])
flags: (bit field)
1 = Count orphans.
2 = Remove orphans.
4 = Remove dupes.
8 = Correct capitalization.
include_removables:
1 = Also scan items located on removable drives.
Background: You normally don't want to throw items out of your DB just
because a particular USB drive isn't plugged in.
return: Count of removed, if none count of corrected, if none count of orphans.
Remark:
This function does not change any data on disk, just the tags in memory.
Examples:
echo tagcheck(1); //returns count of orphans
echo tagcheck(2); //remove orphans, returns count of removed orphans
echo tagcheck(4); //remove dupes, returns count of removed dupes
echo tagcheck(8); //correct capitalization, returns count corrected items
echo tagcheck(14, 1); //remove orphans and dupes, correct capitalization, include removables
//meaning of return value depends on what happened
+ Scripting got a new function.
Name: TagSave
Action: Saves current tags to a file.
Syntax: tagsave([file], [flags])
file: Full path to database file.
If the path or file doesn't exist it will be created without asking
questions.
Defaults to the currently loaded database (<xytagdat>).
flags: (bit field)
1,2,4 = [reserved].
8 = SafeSave: This value is only useful in Multi-User Tagging.
Before writing, the current saved state of the database is read and matched
with the tags in memory. Can be useful in a multi-user tagging context if for
some reason your current tags in memory do not match the status of the
database on disk.
Note that whether database is actually read is also controlled by the value
of the Admin.ini key TagDatSafeSave. If no Admin.ini exists TagDatSafeSave is
0 and the database is not read.
This flag is ignored if "file" is set to a DB different from the currently
loaded database.
return: "1" on success, else "".
Examples:
tagsave(); //save tags now (typically to "<xydata>\tag.dat")
tagsave(, 8); //save tags now, using the SafeSave strategy
tagsave("E:\Test\TagsDB\Test.dat"); //save the current tags to this file
+ Tagging: The tag database now gets the author (Windows User ID) and the timestamp
(Now) in the first line every time it is written.
