Sorry for the delay.

When the partition size changes, you need to run the following script.

Suppose partition with volume serial number 0CED08AF has changed size from 451577638912 to 278768590848. Then, the script to run in Sql Management Studio is:

use tabbles;

update [file]
set diskId = '§0CED08AF§278768590848'
where diskId = '§0CED08AF§451577638912';

Of course you need to find the three values (volume serial number, old size , and new size). You can discover volume serial number and new size by right clicking the disk in tabbles, then

folder menu > advanced > “see which disk contains this file”

you can discover the old size by right clicking a file with the “unplugged” icon, and then

advanced > “see which disk contains this file”

Important: Backup your tabbles.mdf file first!

Sorry, the manual is outdated in that part. (I just updated it).

Those sorting modes you ask for (Recently tagged, Files with more tabbles, Files with fewer tabbles, Recently the opened with Tabbles ) have been removed in Tabbles 3 due to technical difficulties, and have not been reimplemented yet, because we felt they were not really necessary. If you feel differently, please explain in what situation they would be useful. Thanks

Hi, please see my responses inline:

Explorer no overlays + file sorting only three options

My computer configuration: WIN8.1 + SQL Server Express 2014, bought Tabbles Home Edition.

My question:
1, the Explorer context appeared Tabbles options, but the files are not overlays.

Probably there are other applications installed on your machine which install an overlay handler and are taking precedence on Tabbles. (This is a windows limitation, not a Tabbles limitation). To know if this is true, please do this:

Open registry editor, and go to the location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

now:

1)
Tell me whether you see a key named

000TabblesOverlayHandler

or something like that. There should be one.

2) tell me the names of all the other keys that appear BEFORE 000TabblesOverlayHandler (maybe SkyDrivePro1, SkyDrivePro2, SkyDrivePro3).

2. Sort files can be selected only three items: name, date modified, size.
Interest in the second case a serious impact on the efficiency of my work,

this extra time is needed to get the modification date of all the files from the file system, in order to sort the files by modification date.

Please tell me:

1) when the slowdown occurs, how many files are being sorted in the list? (look at the file count in the top right corner).

2) do some of those files lie on external disks, which go to sleep and take time to wake up?

Hello, of course we are going to maintain it for new windows versions in the years to come, as we did with Windows 8. We have a user base and a steady flow of new users, so we do not envision to get out of business in the next few years. And even if it happens, all your tagging data can be exported to XML, and then imported in some other application. You might even hire us to import that data into your favorite application and integrate Tabbles with anything.

Thanks for letting us know.

I did not know you could complete the setup without admin rights.

1. install sql server on only one pc.
2. install tabbles client on both pcs.
3. configure sql server to accept connections from both pcs.
4. make sure you can login to tabbles from both pcs with the same tabbles user.
5. attach the external hard disk to pc #1 (with drive letter, say, G:\).
6. from pc #1, tag a file in the external hard disk with tabble “test”. Suppose its path is G:\foo.pdf.
7. detach the external hard disk from pc #1 and attach it to pc#2, with letter, say, H:\
8. log in to tabbles from pc2, open tabble “test”.
9. you will see the file from the external hard disk. its path will be H:\foo.pdf.
10. if you double click the file, it opens normally.

If auto-tagging rules are tagging files that should not be tagged, you could try excluding the location C:\FileHistory\

options > auto-tagging rules > locations excluded by auto-tagging rules.

But I am not sure this will be enough in your case.
