tagexport(), dirty tags, removed ones aren't saved

[highend]

A fresh instance, only 2 items are tagged, 3 files exist.

Code: Select all

D:\1.txt => abc
D:\2.txt => def
D:\3.txt => Not tagged

Now the following changes happen:

Code: Select all

D:\1.txt => Remove tag
D:\2.txt => Change tag to: df
D:\3.txt => Add tag: ghi

The code is executed:

Code: Select all

$file = "D:\tag_backup.dat";
    tagexport($file, "", , 2);

The resulting file only contains
the changed tag for 2.txt and the added tag for 3.txt
but it doesn't contain the removing of the tag for 1.txt^^

That's bad, if you need a disaster backup because the access to a (network) db is interrupted and you restore it later on, all removed tags are still present

Agreed, I have a script in CEA-Exit that writes dirty tags to ADS, when I remove the tag, the tag in ADS should also be removed.

For removed tags (where the item comes out with no tags at all) this only works with the "ghost tag" (set label field to "-888") which by default is not used. You can tick "Configuration | Information | Tags | Auto-refresh tags" to make it work.
