how to use tagUpdate - drPo - 05-12-2017 11:00
Hello, I want to use the "tagUpdate" priority to consolidate composer names into single ones.
As I have issues with MinimWatch I try to use the mscript command
1. using a script file I managed to add to the config file the line
"minimserver.tagUpdate <filename.txt>
2. Inside <filename.txt> I have commands like
@COMPOSER = J.S. Bach
=COMPOSER=Bach, Johann Sebastian
Restarted minimserver but when I browse the composers list I still see
"J.S. Bach" and not just "Bach, Johann Sebastian".
Any ideas where I am erring?
thx
Greg

In the "props" output from mscript, you should see:
minimserver.tagUpdate=<filename.txt>
where <filename.txt> is a full absolute path to the file. In the <filename.txt> file, you should have:
@COMPOSER=J.S. Bach
=COMPOSER=Bach, Johann Sebastian
Note that there are no spaces around the equals sign. This will match the tag value "J.S. Bach" but not "J. S. Bach" or "J.S.Bach" (etc.)
You can check whether this is working by setting the writeTagChanges property.

Thanks ! The writeTagChanges helped a lot, working now!
