How to find out the unique key of any file?
« on: April 25, 2016, 05:19:35 pm »

Hi there,

currently playing with Python to automate MC and so far my attempts are successful using COM.
In COM there are some methods which allow a file to be added by "key".

However... which field in the database is this "key"? I am using the German translation and have not found any field that corresponds to the unique (auto-assigned) key.

So which one is it or how do I find that out using the GUI? I would like to list the keys in a column for a view.

Thanks.

You might find some answers here:

I'll move your thread there.

MCWS is the preferred interface now.  COM will still work, but it isn't being developed now.

Filekey() is the relevant function.  You can make an expression column in the GUI and use that function there to return the filekey.  The rest of the linked document on the Expression Language is quite valuable as well.
