Basic Tags are empty

[SonicBe@m]

Hello,

In my overview the tag filters are emtpy.
how can i reset it?

I stopped using them as there's some kind of bug that makes all or most of the tags disappear. I had reinstalled, which brought them back, but soon they were gone again.

some kind of bug that makes all or most of the tags disappear.

This has been going on for a while now..even through quite a few FS updates.
I rely on the fix by Walter (god bless him . )

The fix is not permanent. Sooner or later the bug will re-appear.

It's a good idea to create some shortcuts to the bug fix procedure,
so it's less of a hassle to do every time the bug re-appears.

Thanks for help!

i have writen a little cmd batch tool.
this will generate the tagbar.txt which would not generated automatical.

the problem:
some times FlowStone lost the information for the given tags in the AppData\Roaming\FlowStone\Tags folder.

If you delete the Tags folder, FlowStone create it automatical after open and close of FlowStone.
But it does not generate the tagbar.txt file which is needet for displaying it in FlowStone.

If you create new Tags you have to save the configuration before deleting the Tags folder.
In my example its the Claw.tag

So save the claw.tag
delete the tag folder
start FlowStone and close it
Now copy the saved tags back to the Tag directory
After this you have to start the tag-create.bat file.
This will generate the tagbar.txt in the tag folder.

After starting flow stone you will now see all availible tags

As you see the tags now sorted alphabetical

Hi SonicBe@m,

nice idea but some warning and a little hint from me:

1. If the tag has a space in it's name... only 1st part is listed but wo anything in it...
2. normally all tags are regenerated after restart...
3. some quick .bat changes:

Echo off
cls
REM tag-create generates a new tagbar.txt file with the given tag files in the tag directory
REM this is usefully if you have own created tags and or plugins installen and are not listed in FlowStone

REM set the tags path
Set tagspath="C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\FlowStone\Tags\"

REM go to tags path
cd %tagspath%

REM remove old tagbar txt
del tagbar.txt

REM create new tagbar.txt with the given tags inside the folder (eg. FlowStone\Tags)
@for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b /a:-d *.tag') do @echo %%~ni>>tagbar.txt
REM "delims=" This override the default delimiters which are TAB and SPACE so it
REM works for loop with spaces in dir/file name(s)

REM the new tagbar.txt lists all entrys from the tags folder
Echo done
