Tag management/bulk editing #366

Open filcuk opened 1 year ago

filcuk commented 1 year ago

The (recent?) addition of tag renaming is fantastic.

I would like to have an ability to select multiple tasks at once to add/remove tags in bulk. Likewise, it would be great being able to use the Totals panel to add/remove tags for any tasks affected/in view.

Even if this isn't somethign you may want to add, the tool has been invaluable to me lately and I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment I don't know how/where this functionality would fit in, but it sounds like a very valuable improvement!

Instead of opening another issue, I extend this issue by commenting:

I'd find a bulk delete of tasks (not only tags) useful. At the moment you can bulk delete tags. If you do so until the recorded tasks have no tags anymore, they get some "un-categorized" tag or so automatically. Maybe it would be a great idea to let the app delete those tasks instead. This way such a bulk-delete could be implemented already without much effort, I guess.

Another idea came up: with a tag manager it would be cool to be able to import and export tags. E.g. when you already colorized and prioritized tags - or if you want to do so before you even track such tags.

Maybe there could just be a dedicated tag manager for all these ideas in this issue? Accessible through the menu, or so.

No, records without tags are fine. It would be weird to auto-delete them. Some people don't use tags, or not always.

Hm, I see. Maybe with an option, the user could set up then. Just a rough idea. The problem for me right now would be: I cannot delete tracked entries in a bulk. Thus my idea so that such entries would not get "uncategorized" but get deleted completely. Maybe even an option during the tag-renaming. Like having a checkbox "delete untagged entries, instead of givin #uncategorized" or so.

The other solution would be a proper bulk editor, but I guess this is far more complicated, for sure.
