Architectural map: Allow users to fiilter which tag icons are shown #1187

Open ISayarLu opened 2 weeks ago

ISayarLu commented 2 weeks ago

If we go to the settings of an open Architectural map then clic on "Tags to add", choosing the tag to have in the map does not filter the selected tag(s). Instead, it adds them in the map next to the existing ones. As a result, a new element with the name of the tag is added in the map and contains a copie of the entities that are tagged with this tag.

It would be practical to add the selected tag as a little icon in the top of the concerned entities in the architectural map instead of having a new entity called with the name of the tag.

I think those are 2 different things. The 'Tags to Add' option is meant to add the tag as entity. What you want is to filter the tags that are shown as a small icon for each entity. Sometimes you don't want to see all tags.

I confirm. Adding the tag as a "virtual entity" was a feature needed when decomposing a god class in smaller classes.

see http://rmod-files.lille.inria.fr/Team/Texts/Papers/Anq19a-ICSME-GodClass.pdf

What you want is another feature and we need to think how to propose it. Most probably through another setting option. And may be rephrase the current one to make it clearer
