Batch remove tags available? / specific view for a specific folder?

[Xenonfish]

Hi Boris,

I know several people have discussed here before about this feature and I believe Nithin-droid did a pull request and created some code for this (#770). Can you tell me if the functionality has been included in 3.2.0? Am I missing it or has it yet to be implemented?

If the latter is the case, could you tell me if there is an (easy-ish) way to enable the functionality myself and if so would you be able to explain how I would do it?

I have thousands of videos where removing tags one by one is just not feasible.

Is there a way to show a view type only for a specific folder? Lets say I want to see the filmstrip view for only videos within a certain folder, is there a way to do this?

Many Thanks!

The bulk remove tags feature has not been added to the codebase yet. I intend to work on VHA this winter (2024) - I've been busy with house projects 😓

The PR code changes are here: https://github.com/Orthodox-531/Video-Hub-App/pull/1/files - and I suspect copy/pasting it into your code will be sufficient to build VHA with bulk remove functionality (though I never tested it).

I intend to merge this code / write equivalent code for the next version of VHA (hoping to release late 2024 / early 2025).

At the moment there is no way to show a different view for some videos and not others - the gallery page shows only one type of view for all videos. When you right-click on any video and select "View folder" the folder will be added to the "folder name search" filter (in the sidebar) - and VHA will show only videos inside that folder (and any of its subfolders) -- perhaps this is what you had in mind. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

Cheers 😊

Thanks for taking the time to reply :)

I'd like to try the batch tag remove code but I'm not too sure how I go about adding the code to the program as I'm not a programmer. I see that there are some changed files and I assumed that I needed to replace some existing files with the new ones. I looked for a src/app/components location on my PC but was unable to find it. You mentioned about "building" so perhaps it's more complicated than that?

With regards to the view for specific folders, I didn't necessarily mean being able to show different views for different folders. I'll try to clarify...

I usually like to navigate to folders of videos by location on disk to narrow down results, and so that's why I have mainly been using the thumbnails view with "show folders" enabled so I can navigate through. Once I've navigated to a target folder, if I change views the results revert to show everything. I wondered if there's a way to change the view after navigating to a folder using the "show folders" way of navigation in VHA (much like how you can in explorer i.e change from details > List > Thumbnails etc for the folder that that you're viewing).

Since I asked that question though, I think probably the easiest way is just to narrow by typing in the name of the folder to only get the results of that folder and then I can switch to whatever view I want.

For me I like to be able to browse the folder structure you have on disk to remember what folders you have / what you called them etc so I think having a tree view of each folder added under settings > current hub for navigation and to narrow results would be a very welcome addition.
