Post by karimmaster101 »

i want to search inside tags
Example i have file x and tag it with (School Bus, HD, My primary School) when I search "Bus or Primary" didn't found results I should search all sentence " School Bus"
So I want to make the prog search any word of tags

and I want to ask if i have changed drive letters or windows removed can I embedded or backup tags which set via the prog to original file and folders so that when reinstall the prog it recognize them automatically or I have to rewrite tags again if I changed windows

Thanks

Huh? :? You may have used English words but that is not at all an understandable English sentence...sorry.
I've seen a number of posts by non-English-as-native-language users but that has to be one of the most broken English sentences I've seen and thus I can't get any clue as to what you want...can you try again? For example: "windows removed" and "changed windows" seem to refer to a system without an operating system or changing versions, like from XP to W7.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

I think karimmaster101 is asking if tags are portable (e.g. will take account of changing drive letters).

In which case as far as I am aware the answer is no - if the drive letter changes for any reason you need to re-tag all your files?

Although I would be happy to be proved wrong :?:

If that is what phatmankerr is asking, then you're right: tags are not portable at present. However, they are on Don's to-do list as per this thread: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6311

It's not as bad as it sounds: Simply open tag.dat and do a global change on the drive letter.

Anyway, portable tags are planned.

Code: Select all

MyComputer?tags:"*Bus*" /r
