FR: Archive functionality / tag to help decrease clutter

[Chris-Fourie]

Hi there (",)

Thank you so much for this add-on! I feel all systems should have this approach as a default built-in option for organising files!

It would be great to be able to archive documents to decrease clutter.

I imagine functionality, that when enabled, allows for one or more tags to be specified that when added to a document, all files with one of these tags will be bundled at the top/root level under that tag.

Effectively this may look like any document that has a user-specified "archive" tag, will have all tags associated with it become a nested tag with "archive" as the top-level tag.

E.g. If the user-specified tag is simply "archive"... then all tags associated with that document become "archive/tag1, archive/tag2/tag3, archive/tag4" etc. so that when rendered in the side panel, they are placed under a top-level "archive" tag.

This would decrease clutter at a top/root level and effectively add archive functionality.

Thank you for your request! I realised that this is so an brilliant feature immediately and implemented it. And it looks like works as we thought.

Could you please check v 0.15.15?

Hi!

Thanks for implementing the archive feature, I was looking for this exact functionality and was glad to find it in a plugin I already use. But I've encountered an issue: if "Disable narrowing down" is turned on, notes with an archive-tag are displayed in the menu not only under the archive tag, but also under the other tags included in the note. Basically, archive-tags don't make any difference if "Disable narrowing down" is on.

How to reproduce:

1. (optionally) create a new vault, install the tagfolder plugin
2. Add "archive" to the "Archive tags" option
3. Create a few notes: one with tags #work #archive, others just with the #work tag
   • Now the feature works perfectly fine (as shown at the first screenshot)
4. Turn on "Disable narrowing down" option in the plugin settings
   • The feature is broken: file1 is displayed both under the archive tag and under work tag :( (second screenshot)

Sorry for being late to inform you! As you pointed out, it had been completely meaningless while Disable narrowing down was enabled.

It has been fixed at v0.15.25. Could you please check the behaviour?

It has been fixed at v0.15.25. Could you please check the behaviour?

Now if multiple achive-tags are specified, notes with any one of them are displayed under all archive-tags :] It doesn't seem like intended behavior to me, is it?

See the screenshot: I set archive tags to trash,archive,aboba and file1 is displayed under all three tags istead of only trash

Oh, what a careless mistake. I so regret letting you down. It has been fixed at 0.15.26. I am afraid to ask it twice, but could you try again?

[s-walrus]

The plugin works perfectly fine for me now. Thank you for fixing the issue! I appreciate that you find time to maintain the plugin

I am so glad to hear that! I appreciate your cooperation!
