.filetags CV-file: include other files

Open novoid opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I want to include other .filetags files within a .filetags file like:

firsttag
#include ../other/subdir/additional_filetags.txt
normaltag
anothertag

Including other files is done in lines that must start with #include followed by a relative or absolute link to a file or symbolic link or Windows shortcut file.

  • [X] make sure that circular includes are detected somehow -> concept needed
    • example: foo/.filetags includes bar/.filetags which includes baz/.filetags which includes foo/.filetags again
    • promising approach: calculate md5sum of each CV file before loading, compare with all md5sums already loaded and stop when the md5sum is already in the list of known CV files.

This would be cool! Based on the journey this task went through since 2018-2022 I guess I'd have to wait a few more years :)
