Another "Wizard" feature

[Armando]

Hi,

Here's a request which could probably (who knows…  :?: ) be useful to anybody already using a strict naming protocol... and who'd like to transfer specific parts of file names into tags
 
So... I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I was wondering if there could be some extra options to have tag2find automatically create tags from specific filenames words.

For example, I'd like to be able to have tag2find use all the "words" starting with "tgs" (the code I used to tag more than 1500 documents...  :oops: ) and transform them into tags... (I guess something like "create tags with all words fitting : tgs*")

Regards,

M.

Hi,

first reaction from me: sure, can be done. ;-)

I will bring this into Monday morning meeting and I'm sure we will do our best to implement it fast. It won't make it in the 0.10.2 release we scheduled for Tuesday, I'm afraid, but maybe in the next 0.10.3 release.

Best regards,
Martin

Wow! That would be VERY helpful.

Thanks a lot Martin.

Hi,

just to be sure I understood it correctly, could you give me an example filename and which tags you'd expect as results?

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Yes, Sure.

For example, this name :

E:\Documents\xPW-xLC-(2006)__The LaTeX wiki book__,,in Wikibooks,,tgsPordr tgsPlogl.doc

with a "filter" asking tag2find to match all words containing (or starting with) "tgs", the tags would be :

tgsPordr
tgsPlogl

Ok thanks for the clearification. I just wanted to make sure if you wanted to have the marker as a part of the tag or not.

Best regards,
Martin

Oh, I see.

Well, I guess that the marker is not that necessary... But, at the same time, why not keep it. Shouldn't do any harm and could be handy it one has to print the tags, transfer them or something similar.

I just wanted to check whether there has been any development on the issue of creating tags from the file names. that would have saved my day. thanks for this great tool anyway.
