Suggestion: Support -value on alpha fields in command-line switches

[Tony G]

Switches like -at, -c, and -tg support +value to add to the existing list.
Please add support for -value as well.

To test:
-tg First Second
-tg +Third Fourth
-tg "-Second"
result should be "First, Third, Fourth"

This is a little hairy because unless the value is in quotes, -Second looks like another switch.So I think the first value must be included in quotes. From there, multiple tags can be specified just like with the + operator.


Thanks!

Hi Tony

Can you split these into separate requests please?

BTW I notice that most of your posts contain multiple requests or bugs which makes it very difficult to sign off when I may consider one to be a bug and another to be a feature that I may not implement for some time.

Thx

Dan

2) When a category in the -c switch matches an existing category, except for the case, it replaces the existing category.
Example:
-c test
That replaces category "Test".

The above is recognized/documented behaviour, but it could be undesirable.

When a match is found, please do not replace an existing category. Perhaps this can be a preference?


Thanks!

Requests have been split.

Yeah, I group some related items to avoid having similar things in different places. But I will separate them going forward and then just try to cross-link.

Thanks!
