how to use tags

TheDude

Other than being able to do a saved search on tags, is there a way to use them to sort your references? Maybe the feature is not fully developed yet, I would expect it to act something like del.icio.us, where you can click on a tag and bring up all of its references, then be able to click another tag to bring up references with both tags.

This feature will be available in the next version.

Is there a way to make this bring up subitems as well even if their parent item does not have the right tag? When I click on something in the tag selector, only parent items with the correct tag and their children show up - I'd prefer for it to work more like the search bar...

Maybe a fix could be to have parents automatically inherit all of their children's tags?

That would not only fix it but also save me a lot of time. Maybe it could be a feature users could toggle on and off?

Ticket created for this problem.

I'd rather not have this unless it's an option that can be turned off:

A note may have a tag that is completely unrelated to the parent item.

I love this approach though from Dan's message in another thread:

The best approach may be to display matching top-level items, matching children, and non-matching parents of matching children in gray.

With the caveat that matching children will appear as belonging to greyed-out parent items, rather than as top-level items.

Sorry if I was unclear—by "problem" I just meant the issue of tags not appearing in the tag selector for child items, which is what that ticket addresses. I don't think that having parents inherit their children's tags is the right solution.

I'd love to be able to add tags to notes and have them apply to the parent item for the notes - it's an extra click or two to go back to the tag tab for that reference to add the tag.
