assistant: Hello, Alanna
So how come you didn't tell me before...? ')
V.13F has much improved fuzzy dupe checking. (Available from origin,
although hopefully someone has bunged it on the net by now)
Yep - that can be a problem. However, to do it any other way would be to
break the purpose of using the simplest form of tagfile. Believe me,
I would've loved to have made Tag-O-Matic compile the tagfile before
use, but that's too time consuming. To also split lines /could/ be done,
but Tag-O-Matic's main strength has always been the speed it can handle
large files (4Gig). To introduce multi-line checking would be to slow
the whole thing down.
I think Tag-O-Matic's multi-line support is pretty good. Longer tags
than any other program I know of (2048 characters long), and you could
always use sigs if you have a few "format-sensitive" lines.
Thanks for the suggestions though - I'm always open to new ideas, even if
I don't get time to implement them.
