Yoo</a> <em>2012/02/10 12:49</em> </p> <hr /> <p> Cheers, I'd like to add that it is a good idea to clean up orphaned meta data, don't you think? I do the following (in an R script): </p> <ol> <li class="level1"><div class="li">list all files in the pages directory recursively</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li">add a column 'pagename' to this list that countains the file name again but without the base directory</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li">in pagename exchange '/' (or '\') with ':' and remove the file extension</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li">do the same for the meta directory + exclude some additional files</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li">remove all entries from the meta-list from which the page name is in the pages-list</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li">delete all files left in the meta list</div> </li> </ol> <p> Of course one could add a time constraint on it so that you don't use metadata immediately. </p> <p> Clemo <em>2016/09/23 sometime</em> </p> </div> <div class="secedit editbutton_section editbutton_9"><form class="button
