Multiline comments by Poobah at 10:47 PM EDT on October 23, 2005
I've noticed that if there are comment tags with multiple lines, each line is stored as a separate "-comment" tag. While this works fine, it isn't compatible with Neill Corlett's PSFPOINT utility, because it will only write one of each tag. Is there any chance that you (HCS) could change the plugin so that comments are stored in a compatible way?
The multiline comments code is directly from Neill's psfpoint source. It's true that psfpoint can't set these from the commmand line, but how would you expect it to? What syntax would you expect to use? There's no way to store them other than each line in a tag of the same name anyway. It is impossible to have a newline within the comment, since this is the seperator between tags in the PSF spec.
Too late to change that now. I actually think there is a command line client that'll let you put \n in there and it makes the multiple entries itself. And if there isn't it'd be easy enough to write.
Actually, there is a version of psfpoint that supports multi-line comments. It was updated by ugetab, and can be found in the files section of the PSF_Rippers yahoo group. I don't remember what it's called, off hand, and I don't remember how to put in multi-line comments with the edited applicataion. I just know that was the big reason ugetab updated it.
I was able to locate the file. Here is the link. You might want to use this in conjunction with this program that extracts the tag data out of xSF files. Hopefully, that helps. Mouser X over and out.
