Possibility to import a file programmatically in the tag configuration editor

Hi,

I need to modify my tag configuration programmatically, importing new text files (the modifications involve for instance tag creations).

Programmatically, I can launch, stop and load a scf file in the tag engine, but how can I import a new file and save the .scf file?
I don't want to have any manual operation involving the tag configuration editor.

Thanks for your answers.

The challenge you will have is the program can not be running when you define a scf file and load it. One way to get around this is to spawn a program that is not a DSC based program, close and exit your main program, re-launch your main program from your spawned program specifying the new scf file.

You will not be able to do this with the current version of DSC. The importing of text configuration to create the SCF file requires the usage of the Tag Configuration Editor -- which is unfortunately a manual process. (I don't see how spawning another app would help here.)

Anyways, rumor has it that Programmatic Tag configuration will be available in one of the future versions 🙂

Thanks for your answer,

the rumor is interesting, if it could be in the next version, it would be great (by the next 3 or 4 months).
