Topic: AutoTagging-Algorithm kills Tags

Hey folks,

I have a huge problem in TaggedFrog 1.1

I have 3 Directories inside the AutoTagging-mechanisms.
Every file I throw in one of these folders will be tagged with "Folder 1"/ "Folder 2"/ "Folder 3" and a "new"-tag indicating that I have to set some manual tags to the file...
I thought this idea would be quite nice...

Now I encountered a huge problem:
Example:
I have a wordDOC-file that I move to Folder 2. It will be automatically tagged with
-"Folder 2"
-"new"
Thats what I wanted, ok.

Then I set some manual tags to that file resulting in for example the wordDOC-file to be tagged now as:
- "Folder 2"
- "done"
- "Content A"

Now when I open the WordFile TaggedFrog loses all the Tags I set. Instead I have one tmp-file like "~WRL1234" tagged with my Tags (it must be the temporary copy of the word file word is opening) and my original one is tagged again with the intial set of "Folder 2" and "new".

The ~WRL1234-file of course doesn't exist anymore as it is deleted after closing word again.


Any solutions?


Additional info:
I found out that word creates a file like "~wordDoc.doc" when I open "wordDoc.doc". That way I cannot even restrict TaggedFrog from tagging the ~temp-file as it has the same extension (.doc).

Re: AutoTagging-Algorithm kills Tags

Thank you for the report. The behaviour is logical, however is not desired – Word renames the current file into a temporary one and creates a new one to edit. I am looking for a possible solution.

Re: AutoTagging-Algorithm kills Tags

Hey,

thanks for your reply... If you would implement an exclude filter it would be possible to control which filetypes/-names are excluded from the (automatic) tagging...
Maybe via regEx. like "\~" to exclude all files beginning with a ~   
That would cover the temporary wordfile issue...

Just an idea... thanks
