Working with gtags

[Benji99]

Hi Dimitri,

I'm trying to get my script to work and I need to use gtags...
Looking at my old scripts, I was using a function called on_getGrdRowCount to get the number of audio tracks in the folder.
I would then use a for loop to cycle through the files and tag appropriately. It seems that on_getGrdRowCount is no longer a valid function, has it been replaced by something else? In the documentation, I found this function: on_getGrdAlbumRowCount, but it only returns 0...

Also while I'm at it, the functions on_setGrdRow and on_loadFile still work?

Thanks in advance!

Since the Online panel merged with the tag and other panels those functions are replaced with the equivalent tg_ ones

so in order to get through the files you need the standard

Code: Select all

  tg_Init;
  repeat
    tg_LoadFile; 
    // do something here
   
  until not tg_Skip;

(The on_getGrdAlbumRowCount returns the rowcount of the Online mini panel's track grid)

Hi Dimitris,

Sorry to bother you again, need a small clarification...

I used to use gTag.ExtraFieldsAdd( 'string', 'string' ); but it seems you added another attribute bComment: boolean = false. what is it for? I tried it would be True and False and don't see any difference with the results.

Thanks!

This is of minor importance, it is used to store 'user comments' an ID3 specific structure that allows multiple comments with a description.

Code: Select all

//This will add an ID3v2 user comment with 'My rating' as it's description
gTag.ExtraFieldsAdd( 'COMMENT/My rating', 'abc abc', true );

//This will add a User field as usual
gTag.ExtraFieldsAdd( 'My rating', 'abc abc', false );
