tagexport(), dirty tags, removed ones aren't saved
Posted: 26 May 2023 10:39
A fresh instance, only 2 items are tagged, 3 files exist.
Now the following changes happen:
The code is executed:
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
Code: Select all
D:\1.txt => abc
D:\2.txt => def
D:\3.txt => Not tagged
Code: Select all
D:\1.txt => Remove tag
D:\2.txt => Change tag to: df
D:\3.txt => Add tag: ghi
Code: Select all
$file = "D:\tag_backup.dat";
tagexport($file, "", , 2);
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^^
