m-TAGS component (foo_tags)
Reply #32 –
UPDATE
New version here: http://m-tags.org/foo_tags.dll
New additions:
1. The component will generate UTF-8 files. It will still be able to read non-UTF-8 files.
2. Added the possibility to change the default name for multi-reference m-TAGS file from "!" to another name (Preferences / Advanced / Tagging / m-TAGS / m-TAGS creator).
3. Added an option to always write all tags for each media source, without implementing the "cascading" optimization. It may simplify scripting on m-TAGS files (Preferences / Advanced / Tagging / m-TAGS / m-TAGS creator).
4. I added a command line option to create m-TAGS files "in-place" given a certain folder. It behaves exactly as if the provided folder had been selected using "File / m-TAGS / Create m-TAGS (in same folder)". The syntax is:
foobar2000 /m-TAGS <folder>
If you know how to create a shell context-menu script (it is quite easy in XP, I do not know about W7), then you can use the above command to "m-TAG" on the fly a folder and all subdirs from within Windows Explorer. Obviously, fb2k will start if it is not open. However, f you use
foobar2000 /quiet /m-TAGS <folder>
then you can "m-TAG" your folders without opening fb2k's main window.
