If you're on Facebook then I'd recommend joining to make sure you get the best out of it. The group is called "MetaProxy".Tony Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330460400737261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869192014258511310.post-59085453035322257022019-02-18T01:22:31.036+00:002019-02-18T01:22:31.036+00:00Thank you!

It has also come to light that a "side-by-side mode" would be more useful when the buddy file contains a transcription from an image so I want to do something to help there before releasing V2.2.Tony Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330460400737261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869192014258511310.post-67562573174132529122019-02-11T11:17:50.072+00:002019-02-11T11:17:50.072+00:00If you mean having a single buddy file that descri...If you mean having a single buddy file that describes a whole collection, as briefly described above, then it's quite easy -- in fact, it's just a fluke of using wildcards. Let's say you have a collection of images called picture.xx.jpg where the 'xx' can be anything you like. I used numbers above but words would work, too. Each of these images would have a specific buddy file called picture.xx.meta, and clicking on any one of them would bring up the corresponding image. What you would then need is a single buddy file called picture.meta (i.e. with the 'xx' part). When the metaproxy program sees a buddy file, it replaces the ".meta" file extension with ".*" to create a wildcard to go searching for you images, etc., but in this case the wildcard would match each of the other buddy files and so it launches each of them as though you you'd double-clicked on each and every one. Let me know if that doesn't help much.Tony Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330460400737261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869192014258511310.post-4630397273293997752019-02-11T02:15:09.680+00:002019-02-11T02:15:09.680+00:00Works great so far for me in Windows 7, even works...Works great so far for me in Windows 7, even works with Void Tools Everything search, which is my default search program.
