Tools & Macros

Tools and macros are features that serve to create a more fluid library-managing process, or provide some extra functionality. Please note that some are still in active development and will be fleshed out in future updates.

Tools

Fix Unlinked Entries

This tool displays the number of unlinked entries, and some options for their resolution.

Refresh
Scans through the library and updates the unlinked entry count.
Search & Relink
Attempts to automatically find and reassign missing files.
Delete Unlinked Entries
Displays a confirmation prompt containing the list of all missing files to be deleted before committing to or cancelling the operation.

Fix Duplicate Files

This tool allows for management of duplicate files in the library using a DupeGuru file.

Load DupeGuru File
load the "results" file created from a DupeGuru scan
Mirror Entries
Duplicate entries will have their contents mirrored across all instances. This allows for duplicate files to then be deleted with DupeGuru as desired, without losing the field data that has been assigned to either. (Once deleted, the "Fix Unlinked Entries" tool can be used to clean up the duplicates)

Create Collage

This tool is a preview of an upcoming feature. When selected, TagStudio will generate a collage of all the contents in a Library, which can be found in the Library folder ("/your-folder/.TagStudio/collages/"). Note that this feature is still in early development, and doesn't yet offer any customization options.

Macros

Auto-fill [WIP]

Tool is in development and will be documented in future update.

Sort fields

Tool is in development, will allow for user-defined sorting of fields.

Folders to Tags

Creates tags from the existing folder structure in the library, which are previewed in a hierarchy view for the user to confirm. A tag will be created for each folder and applied to all entries, with each subfolder being linked to the parent folder as a parent tag. Tags will initially be named after the folders, but can be fully edited and customized afterwards.
