# Tagmerger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small tool to help merging a messy set of tags into a new, hopefully cleaner
|
|
|
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Very much work in progress, and best effort.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tags are exported in a yaml file. Each key corresponds to a tag in the messy
|
|
|
|
|
set, and contains a list of tags of the new set to which this tag should be
|
|
|
|
|
merged.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start merging a set, with a file containing one tag per line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
tagmerger --export-to <output yaml file> --plain-input <your input file>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start merging with the clunky interface :p
|
|
|
|
|
When you are bored, hit ^C. The merge progress have been saved to the specified
|
|
|
|
|
yaml file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To resume the merge:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
tagmerger --export-to <output yaml file> <input yaml file>
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very much work in progress. The interface is very verbose and quite
|
|
|
|
|
impractical, but it can still help a bit merging large sets where it is not
|
|
|
|
|
feasable to keep all tags in human memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the main issues is that there is no way to revert a merge from the
|
|
|
|
|
interface. If you accidently made a bad merge, stop tagmerger, open the yaml
|
|
|
|
|
output file, fix the merge manually, and resume the merge with the yaml file as
|
|
|
|
|
input.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think a more graphical interface would make all this much easier...
