Thank you!

Someday I will get it through my head that it's not really a file system
down there. :)

Hi Graydon,

Exactly, that’s the option you’ll need to enable to get the archive
names included in your database paths. It can also be passed on to
XQuery functions (db:create, db:add, etc.).

By default, the archive name will be ignored. In BaseX, it’s possible
to have several documents with the same name (this provides better
performance if document paths are irrelevant), and db:list-details
simply returns all document names in the order in which the documents
were added.

Hope this helps,
Christian

Ok, so it looks like:

   1. find where BaseX is really getting its config files ($HOME in my
   case); http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Configuration#Configuration_Files
says "Q{org.basex.util.Prop}USERHOME()"  which is exceedingly helpful!
   2. add, to .basex (NOT .basexgui) AFTER # Local Options the necessary
   config switch
   3. the config switch is "ARCHIVENAME = true"
   4. restart BaseX and go to recreate the DB and you'll see a ticky-box
   option for "add the archive name to the path"

This gets me the behaviour I was expecting would happen, but I'm still
curious if there's a way to get the archive name back in the default case,
because it does look like BaseX is in no way confused about which of those
identically named files belong together.

Thanks!

[basex-talk] retrieving the name of the archive?

[Graydon Saunders]

Hello --

BaseX will happily consume zip archives; this is just splendid for loading
up a bunch of docx files.

Now I find myself wanting the name of the docx file -- the original name of
the archive -- and I don't know how to retrieve that.  (or if it can be!)
 But I think it must be there somewhere because db:path repeats the
standard OOXML file paths:

[Content_Types].xml
word/document.xml
word/footnotes.xml
word/footer1.xml
word/endnotes.xml
word/theme/theme1.xml
word/settings.xml
docProps/custom.xml
customXml/itemProps2.xml
docProps/app.xml
customXml/item2.xml
customXml/itemProps1.xml
word/fontTable.xml
customXml/item1.xml
customXml/item3.xml
customXml/itemProps3.xml
customXml/item4.xml
customXml/itemProps4.xml
word/numbering.xml
word/styles.xml
word/webSettings.xml
docProps/core.xml
word/people.xml

over and over; if they were all going to exactly that there'd be one copy,
and all several hundred docx files are there by content.  (db:list-details
tells me about > 4000 individual xml files.)

If I can get the name of the original archive, how do I do that?

Thanks!
