I have found that the only reason I have to use the catalog is for click and search, so I want to regain that screen-estate.

I am using the following scripts on a button to deal with tags (all from this forum or adapted for my use):

To replace click and tag:

Code: Select all

$tags = taglist();
    if !($tags) { status "No tag(s) in taglist, aborted!", "8B4513", "stop"; end true; }
    $tags = regexreplace($tags, "(.+?)(,|$)", "$1|$1|:tagsadd,");
    $sel = inputselect("Choose tag(s) to apply", $tags, ",", 1+2+32+64+1024, , 300, 600);
    tagitems("tags", $sel);

To replace click and search whole computer with OR option

Code: Select all

$taglist = formatlist(taglist(), "t", ",");
  $tags = inputselect("Find by Tags<crlf>Tick the tags that shall be matched.", $taglist , ",", 2);
  // make it an OR-ed list
  $tags = replace($tags, ",", "|");
  goto "*?tags:""$tags"" /rv"

To replace click and search this location with OR option

Code: Select all

$taglist = formatlist(taglist(), "t", ",");
  $tags = inputselect("Find by Tags<crlf>Tick the tags that shall be matched.", $taglist , ",", 2);
  // make it an OR-ed list
  $tags = replace($tags, ",", "|");
  goto "<curpath>?tags:""$tags"" /rv"

To replace click and search this location with AND option

Code: Select all

$taglist = formatlist(taglist(), "t", ",");
  $tags = inputselect("Find by Tags<crlf>Tick the tags that shall be matched.", $taglist , ",", 2);
  // make it an OR-ed list
   $tags = replace($tags, ",", ", ");
  goto "<curpath>?tags:""$tags"" /rv"

To replace click and search whole computer with AND option

Code: Select all

$taglist = formatlist(taglist(), "t", ",");
  $tags = inputselect("Find by Tags<crlf>Tick the tags that shall be matched.", $taglist , ",", 2);
  // make it an OR-ed list
   $tags = replace($tags, ",", ", ");
  goto "*?tags:""$tags"" /rv"

My only remaining things to do are:

a) To do the same for labels (obviously only the OR option here) -- but I can't work out how to bring up labels in a list

b) To do AND/OR option for a combination of labels and tags -- in other words can I bring up some sort of a list that will contain all labels and tags. I could do this in the catalog. i.e. I want to be able to search for items that are labelled "Urgent" and have tag "dog"... Any help would be appreciated.

Should this stuff not be inbuilt?

Labels are defined in the tag.dat file so you gather them from there

Code: Select all

    $labels = gettoken(gettoken(readfile("<xytagdat>"), 2, "Labels:<crlf>"), 1, <crlf>);
    $labels = trim(regexreplace($labels, "\|\|[A-F0-9]{6};?", ",", 1), ",", "R");
    text $labels;

That's great - thank you greatly. I will see what I can do with that and report back for others to use. Is there an easy way to eliminate labels that start with Unused* ?
