Folders can have multiple tags, how would you handle this?

[mmorth7]

Would suggest the first defined tag (first in the list), and additionally right-click in the tab to open a selection window if there are more than one (with None to choose from).

And if a tag is present in the top folder, and not in the one below, use the top one.

[yaira2]

When you say "tab" do you mean the content of the tab as well?

[mmorth7]

I will explain with an example. For example, I am working on two projects. Each project has a tag in the top folder. The tab is now displayed in the corresponding color, even if you go deeper into the folder structure, although no tag is present in the subfolders. If there is now a folder with another tag in it, it will be displayed in this color (the tab, if the folder is active). If two tags are defined at the same time -> see above

Hope I could answer the question with it

When you say tab, do you mean the file area as well, or just the tab button?

[mmorth7]

I mean the tab button. Alternatively, a dot with the tab color can be placed in front of the name in the tab button.

Thanks! I feel that a color dot wouldn't be as useful as the full tab but we can explore the different options.
