Just to be clear though, this is just for fun, but it's tags/comments still aren't yet supported in scripting. What I mean is, this just brings up that window for manual editing, but it's not a way for a script to set tags/comments... right?admin wrote:File|TagID|Commentserendipity wrote:::edittags; from AB brings up the window, what is the syntax for direct tagging or commenting?Code: Select all

Yes, i know that previous tag.dat editing syntax. But I thought it would work without opening the Tag& comments window.

1) still shows "Violet" on my sys vs "purple"
2) Tag Check up would probably be better as "Clean up" as that is what it does, since check-up is more of an integrity thing in my usage
Looks like "Database Clean Up" is the standard term for this.admin wrote:1) Violet is now part of your user settings. You get purple when you reset to defaultsj_c_hallgren wrote:re V7.90.80:

2) It first checks and then cleans if necessary. Is "Clean Up" the better term for this?
Given that your dialog saysadmin wrote:2) It first checks and then cleans if necessary. Is "Clean Up" the better term for this?
which only talks about removal, which is clean-up IMO, I think it's the more approp term as you have found.Remove any orphaned tags and comments?
...the tag database may contain items that don't exist anymore.
Click OK to remove any such items from the database now.
Hmm, weren't you one of the DP advocators?j_c_hallgren wrote:Because on my display, I barely have room for the tag col, and comments are off the screen on right, so having them avail via tips would be helpful I think, for me and possibly others.
I would like such a thing for other databases too, something I asked for once upon a time.admin wrote:Looks like "Database Clean Up" is the standard term for this.admin wrote:1) Violet is now part of your user settings. You get purple when you reset to defaultsj_c_hallgren wrote:re V7.90.80:

Just a thought...could the 'bad' results optionally be dumped into a dialog similar to List Mgmt so that user could review them and decide what to do with them? Of course, maybe some sort of "Exclude list" applied to this clean up might also help.serendipity wrote:But I see a drawback as XY is a portable app and there might be many dead paths from several PCs which might be usable later.

Yes, and when we get DP, that issue may affect even more users! Now...when I use DP on x2, I reduce the cols shown to just the bare min I need for that task, and I'd expect to have to do same on XY.admin wrote:Hmm, weren't you one of the DP advocators?j_c_hallgren wrote:Because on my display, I barely have room for the tag col, and comments are off the screen on right, so having them avail via tips would be helpful I think, for me and possibly others.
I think tag.dat is not to be ported. You have one fixed at each of your machines.serendipity wrote:But I see a drawback as XY is a portable app and there might be many dead paths from several PCs which might be usable later. Hmmm tricky situation.

LoadTags(tagfile, [add], [colorstoo]]I don't see a way.serendipity wrote:Could there be a way to separate paths from current PC that are truly dead (because of rename, move etc) to paths on other PCs which look dead now but are actually alive.
Perhaps by List Management, by hand ? provided that we can delete several lines in one shot.admin wrote:I don't see a way.serendipity wrote:Could there be a way to separate paths from current PC that are truly dead (because of rename, move etc) to paths on other PCs which look dead now but are actually alive.
