Basically, the uuid is used in an SMPTE defined system that uses XML files as descriptive material. My app parses those files and extracts relevant informations. However some human-readable text data is not always filled in so I want to have fields to allow the user to enter a text that will allow him later to select the right uuid (and thus the right folder) by reading a simple text. I use the uuid as a primary key in my db to retrieve the information later.
It's okay thouh I'll just work around this issue by replacing the "-" character by something else in the template and then resetting it in the controlelr. I just though it would be good to be able to change the variable_encode and variable_decode default values... > Use some different naming scheme for these, or even better get rid of them as > names totally.

Why would that be a bad idea ? Those uuids are unique, so they can't conflict with anything and I'm not the one creating them, they were created before (I use them because I don't really have a choice and I find it silly to use another unique key for my purpose). This just makes things easier. Thanks. On Jul 7, 2:06 pm, "Diez B.
