What is the purpose of an indexTags setting of Group\:Work

[simoncn]

The minimserver.config file has a special format and this includes backslashes before certain other characters such as a colon.

This file should not be edited in a text editor because it is likely that the user will not understand and preserve the special format when doing this. Also, changing some property values by editing can cause MinimServer to malfunction. Looking at this file, I can see that it has been edited and some of the backslashes added by MinimServer in other places have been removed. In the latest version of MinimServer, editing this file is no longer allowed.

The Work:Group entry in aliasTags makes your Work tags appear to MinimServer as if they are Group tags. The Group\:Work entry in indexTags shows these Group tags under an index entry named Work.

MinimServer treats Group tags specially (see this section) and by doing the above you are getting this special "Group" treatment for your Work tags without needing to change them to Group tags in your files.
