Remove unused labels out of tab-complete #407

Open ZJvandeWeg opened 9 years ago

ZJvandeWeg commented 9 years ago

When adding a label to a thread, I sometimes make a typo, or press return before tab-completion. This results in a new label, which, after retagging the original thread, is unused and cannot be removed from inside sup. I manually these by quiting sup, edit the label.txt file and restarting again.

I feel I've not made myself really clear; so an example. I want to tag something as mailinglist, I type mail, forget to press tab for completion, so now its tagged as mail. I edit the tag, but next time I try to add the tag mailinglist my tabcomplete now also has the mail tag in the list, which is unused.

So I propose to remove unused labels, at exit or before(in the label list perhaps?). As I don't see the point of a tag which is not used to be saved? Please correct me if im wrong, and this feature is allready there?

Yeah, sounds good. I've wanted this as well.

Oh, that's nice! This has been annoying the heck out of me with my OCD!

Just a small thing on your example, most decent (more than you think) mailinglists have List-Unsubscribe headers. You can auto tag on them. Sup also has built in bindings to unsubscribe from it.

Im well aware of those features, and use them quite a lot. In this case it was just for an example instead of real use case. Thanks anyway!
