merge_tags.exe

Due to a popular demand, I produced an executable version of the script that merges tags. It can be downloaded from here. While at that, I've made some minor changes, hopefully it works better now

Thanks, man. It's been working wonderfully so far, except for one time it bombed on the tag deutsche küche (a german restaurant). It must've been the "ü" character.

Yes, I suspected I have a problem with accented characters. Unfortunately, I got rid of them before I've written the script, thus had no chance to encounter this problem.

So is this new version different than v0.2?

[dimrub]

Yes, I added handling of the case where a tag defined in the tags file does not exist. The script now just skips over and continues, instead of terminating.

Great! Another nice feature would be if you try to merge tags into a new tag that doesn't exist, either print an error, or rename one of the old tags into the new one, because it can't create the new one if you're over 1000.

Maybe I will indeed. So far I only merged into one of the existing tags, so this was not required.
