A thorough implementation of Hierarchical Tags is now available in the latest Clibu Notes release. This is an important milestone which moves us much closer to a Version 1 release. It is also the biggest release of late and even though we’d planned for Hierarchical Tags from the start, it was more complex task and took longer than we’d estimated.
That said I’m very pleased with our tags implementation, which delivers enhanced tag functionality, such as the ability to set the color of a tag and an icon. These attributes are used both in the Tags tree and Tags in Notes, making it easier to visually locate tags.
The new Tags Tree also includes a count of notes associated with each tag.
This shows tags in notes using the attributes set in the tree. Clicking on a tag in a note selects that tag in the Tags tree which then shows the notes that include that tag in the matches panel.
You can rearrange tags in the tree using drag and drop or cut and paste. All changes are immediately reflected in tags in notes. And of course tags can be renamed.
To add a tag to a note type a # followed by the tag text. A list of matches lets you quickly pick an existing tag or create a new one.
As we start to get feedback on how you are using Tags I can envisage changes being made. I already have some ideas for improvements. So please do let us know any suggestions you may have.
Hierarchical Tags provide an alternate method to organize and locate groups of related notes. They build on functionality provided by the Notes Tree and Backlinks.
