Renaming tags can break markers

[mf35]

Alright, i found and isolated an interresting bug.

Put a tag marker on a video, then rename this tag on the tags page. This renaming won't be echoed in the markers database file (dbm.json), resulting in breaking several things when you play this video:

• Timeline won't respond and markers won't appear on it.
• You won't be able to open sided videos list or markers list.
• You won't be able to manage new markers.

Renaming the tag in dbm.json file accordingly resolved the problem.

I didn't try to reproduce it but I think problem with updating tags state in player. If add a new tag it will don't appear in player's tags. Need to updating player tags. Temporary solution maybe rerun app after any manipulation with tag name.

I don't know if i got understood, let me explain with a clearer example:

• I create a tag named "Beauty" in the tags page.
• I go to videos page and launch the video "A".
• In the video player, i create a "tag" marker and i choose the "Beauty" tag.
• I close the app, or do something else.
• I come back to the tags page and i edit the "Beauty" tag's name and change it to "Beautiful"
• I launch the video "A", and the problems described in my previous post happen, because in the dbm.json, the tag's name is still "Beauty" and not "Beautiful".

After you added tag, renamed or deleted just rerun app. For better understanding how tags connects with player. On start app main window send a copy of object with tags to player window. One time. But it should be every time after tag object changed.

Ok, right now i have already some tags set. So i just launched a video, added an existing marker tag to it on its timeline, everything's ok. Then i went to tags page, renamed the tag i just used, and relaunched the video. Everything was working, except that the tag's name has not changed on the marker's video (on the timeline and on the markers'list)

So i closed the app and opened it again. And when i re-launched the video, it was worse, like i described it in the first post, no more markers on timeline, can't open playlist and markers list. Then i checked dbm.json file, the tag's name was not changed there, and the problem is solved only when i change the tag's name there. I'm talking about dbm.json, so the markers related file, not the tags related file.

It's really easy to reproduce, you should try the step by step i gave. :)

I understand, when you renamed any tag its name don't updating in markers database. It's a mistake, it should be fixed.

Yes that's it :) I'm sorry, it's not easy to explain.
