Feature Request: Tag by filter #74

Open bagheera opened 3 years ago

bagheera commented 3 years ago

I just discovered Procrasti Tracker and I like it a lot - thank you for creating it. The hierarchical tagging works great most applications but when it comes to multi-use-case apps like browsers, the ability to tag by filter would be very useful. For example, I'd like to be able to say automatically tag all future items that contain the substring "Gmail" as email and those that contain "Stack Overflow" as development even though they are all just different tabs in Firefox. Does that make sense?

Thank You Sri

Agree that would be great to have.

Since we already have "filter on substring" though, the better way to implement this would be to allow the user to select multiple tree nodes so they can all be tagged at once.

You mean use the existing filter textbox but then allow the user to select all/ partial resultset and then tag manually? Sounds good. To avoid repeated daily effort, would it be possible to add a check box that says 'remember for future' or 'save as rule' (as it is a kind of rule based tagging)?

Thank You Sri

I wouldn't count on that any time soon.. UI work in win32 is clumsy :)

Oh ok. In that case, I'll settle for the multi-select functionality you suggested originally. Guess I can write an ahk script as an automation wrapper.
