Howto

Importing Videos

1. Select the library you want to import into
2. Click [+] next to the library selector dropdown
3. Select a folder in the popup control
4. Click OK

Depending on the number of videos under the path, the import process might take a while.

Importing adds tags automatically (auto-tags) based on the path and file name of the video.

• folder names relative to the root path are brought over
• file names are broken down along non-word characters

Thumbnails and metadata are extracted from videos on first access. While extraction is in progress, you can't switch between libraries.

Managing Tags

Changing tags

1. Click on tag
2. Type new name:category, or just name
3. Hit Enter
   • ... while holding SHIFT, if you want to change that tag throughout the entire library
   • ... while holding CTRL, if you want to apply the change to search results only

Adding tags

1. Click on [+] button on the video you want to add the tag to
2. Start typing new name:category
3. When typed in, or gray hint matches the tag you want to add, hit Enter
   • ... while holding CTRL, if you want to add the tag to all search results
4. A new add tag box will open to let you add another tag

Deleting tags

1. Click on the small delete icon on the tag
   • ... while holding SHIFT, if you want to remove that tag from the entire library
   • ... while holding CTRL, if you want to remove that tag from search results

Joining tags

1. Search for separate tags (e.g. term1,term2)
2. Add joined tag to search results (CTRL + Enter)
3. Search for joined tag (the UI won't let you delete tags that are hits)
4. Remove separate tags from search results (CTRL + x)

Splitting up tags

When you want to split along spaces, you can use the built-in "explode" feature.

1. Click on tag to explode
2. Click on bomb icon
   • ... while holding SHIFT, to explode all such tags throughout the entire library
   • ... while holding CTRL, to explode such tags in search results

When you need to split tags following different rules:

1. Search for tag to split up
2. Add split tags one by one (CTRL + Enter)
3. Search for separate tags
4. remove old tag from search results (CTRL + x)

Managing Libraries

Most of the library management features are not implemented yet. There's a manual workaround however, for each of those, accessing the database files under /server/db, relative to the application path.

Downloading library data

1. Open the library switcher control
2. Hover over the library you want to download
3. Click the database-save icon to save the file

Creating a new library

To end up with an empty library, there are two options:

• Rename default.sqlite to something different, and restart Wwidd. After restart, there will be an empty default library.
• Save an empty library on first use. Copy this under the database folder by a different name.

Renaming a library.

Go to the database file folder, and rename the corresponding *.sqlite file.

Deleting a library.

Go to the database file folder, and delete the corresponding *.sqlite file.
