- in reply to: auto-tagging questions #1449
Extra oddness is that in the history window it says the filename rule was applied to one of the files but the file itself only has the directory ruled tabble.
That’s the db corruption I talked about in the previous comment.
I guess I’m wondering how/when each rule is applied; Last created rule applied first and down the list, first created to last, alpha?
I apply rules from first to last. But I’m not sure the list always reflects the internal order.
Anyway you are facing a bug. Now that the bug is fixed, the order should be irrelevant.
And second; Are there circumstances when a rule is applied that either the old tabbles are stripped or the file’s tabble list is initialized (which would clear the list as a side effect)?
Clear the list as a side-effect: it sounds like the bug I’ve fixed. 🙂
Does the one-click pop-up possibly block any other rules being applied to a file?
No it does not.
Also, I notice that even if I have the checkbox marked to have the one-click box pop, only the first file seems to get the pop-up.
I couldn’t fill your screen with popups, so there’s a logic that says "there can’t be more than a one-click-tagging popup visible on screen". To see all the files, you should bring up the window called "auto-tagging history".
in reply to: auto-tagging questions #1448Overall auto-tagging is working pretty well! It looks like I may have come up against an occasional odd little issue when 2 rules apply to one file, specifically a directory rule and a filename rule. It’s odd because one file was tabbled just fine with each rule, however the rest only picked up the directory rule.
This sounds like a bug I fixed in 1.3.3. Sorry.
This bug also caused database corruption (restricted to the file that was matched by two rules). so I suggest you do the following:
1. install 1.3.3
2. open the debug log: tools > advanced > show debug log.
2. detect and fix db corruption: tools > advanced > remove errors in db.
3. quickly do CTRL+a and then CTRL+c on all the text in the debug log, and CTRL+v in notepad, so you can take note of which files have been unlinked from the DB.
4. Tell me how many files with errors there were (or just send me the full log via email)
5. retag all the files that had errors
6. make sure the bug is fixed, by creating a file in a directory that triggers a rule, and then renaming it to a name that triggers another rule.
I jumped but I survived because of the balcony.
As for your crash after opening the quick-tag many times, I can only tell you that I’m reading a book about debugging to get some clue.

Is the program perhaps supposed to rescan when it’s first booted?
To drive C: ? I’m very surprised. I really don’t understand…
at least do you have a rule on folder C:? (If not, I’m jumping out the window.)
No, tabbles does not (yet) rescan at startup.
well, if it happens again, and you have some clue, I’d appreciate if you’d let me know.

Have had the program open for an hour or so (doing some testing) and this little pop-up popped up saying Tabbles was working in the background… Hmmm… I didn’t recall setting it on some herculean task to need background time. Turns out Tabbles was making sure the auto-tagging rules were being followed and it picked up and tagged files that had been added/moved when it was not loaded! Very nice!
I couldn’t find an on/off toggle for it, nor a way to rescan manually. On the to-do list? 🙂
Cool feature.
Hi mdrna,
Currently, Tabbles only does what you say when you move a folder. More precisely: if you move folder F1 into folder F2, and F2 has a rule which adds tabble T, then Tabbles starts a background task to attach tabble T to folder F1 and all its content.
So, could it be you had just moved a folder?
in reply to: kernal32.dll crashes on 64-bit only? #1416Hi mrdna,
unfortunately I’m not sure the problem is solved. It might be fixed in the next version, or it might not.
When you wrote in Mantis, I thought I was able to reproduce it once, but it may have been another bug which I have now fixed, and which gave the same problem (kernel32 crash). (it was a stackoverflowexception).
So I don’t really know if I could reproduce it, therefore I don’t know if it’s fixed. If it’s not, I confess I don’t have a clue what else it could be.
Today we are going to release 1.3.0 and I’d appreciate if you’d let me know if its fixed.
in reply to: Did you know? – (discuss here) #1265You can get it back to window mode by choosing "view > compact window mode".
in reply to: Tabbles 1.2.0 beta1 [Feature REQ] #1159I see. I am adding this to the TODO list.
in reply to: Tabbles 1.2.0 beta1 [Feature REQ] #1157So you want to hide the toolbar and only see the menu bar?
I assume the purpose is to save space?
in reply to: Tabble management, etc #1148Hi, you are right: a faster way is needed to unhide tabbles from the quick-open dialog… a checkbox looks like a natural way to do it. But I have to think more about it. I am adding this to the TODO list.
in reply to: Return of the categories – please!!!! #1121John,
I need to understand what’s wrong with giving a name to your colors and then grouping tabbles by color name (shortcut ALT+y).
Secondly, I don’t understand what you mean when you say "my files lost the old categories". Did you mean to say "my files lost the old tabbles" or "my tabbles lost the old categories"?
Also, I see that in a previous post you were asking for multi-level categories (i.e. hierarchical categories, i.e. hierarchical groups of tabbles). I would like to see an example of how you would arrange tabbles if you had such a feature.
Also, how many categories did you have? (i.e. how many colors do you now have)
in reply to: Starting minimized #1115Hi,
that makes sense. Currently Tabbles maximizes itself on startup for technical problems. In next version I’ll try to have Tabbles remember the window state.
(However, since Tabbles is meant to be always running, you will only need to minimize it when it starts, i.e. rarely. So the feature you are asking for will save you about one click a day. Why do you need it?)
in reply to: Placing a tabble inside a tabble #1104Hi,
by reading your message, I am left wondering: why do you want to create a hierarchy of tabbles? What problem are you trying to solve? And why does a tabble hierarchy solve the problem? Could there be another solution to the problem which does not involve creating a hierarchy of tabbles?
I’d like to be of help, but you will have to be more specific, and separate the problem from the solution.
in reply to: Return of the categories – please!!!! #1067Hi, I’m coding this right-now, as explained in this blog post. I expect it to be ready on monday.
