We are leaving “add to rows” out for now, simply because of overhead, but will get it into 3.2, if the interest is there. To respond to your other questions:

1. You can type them in, comma-separated, and then they are added. The sample only does type-ahead for the first, as you probably noticed, but the live version in Surfulater does it for each tag.

2. That is a good idea. Usually, it is just a row on top. We will add that to the list, again, later release.

3. Tag-Groups: interesting idea, but would require more thought, such as how to make the management clean and easy.

Two aspects that seem missing…

1. suppose a bunch of existing tags need to be added? How could multiple tags be selected in the “new tags” slot to be added in one step?

2. for the remove/keep operation, could an item be added to check or uncheck ALL, to avoid having to go down the list one-by-one?

Possibly a useful feature would be to have “Tag Groups” – named groups of tags, so that if a tag-group-name is used, all the member tags would be added. The groupnames could be identified with a special lead character in the name (e.g., “&”, like &groupname). These groups could be displayed in the tag panel too.

We tried the 3-way on a number of testers, many were confused. Personally, we think it is great, because it provides three states in a single widget. Practically, the confusion level was too high. For now, we are likely to stick with the “Remove” option. The nice thing about this decision is that as we get a broad user base, we can always change it in the future.

These live examples are not in 2.94, but the correct ones will be in 3.0GA.

Best to have the “use” column, which avoids remembering the context of changing process (keep or remove).

One issue, in 3-way, after making a change, the “-” indicator can never be restored. Makes sense, but the benefit of also having the other “in all” column to indicate initial state should be considered.

I tried the new 2.9.4 release, and didn’t see these “live example” options. Are they not included?

One question – will it be possible to take a whole tag set or group of tags from one KB and copy it into another KB to use for tagging there?

Is comma “,” the tag separator? And which punctuation characters are allowed in tags?

Would the tagging of single articles (in the article template) work the same way?
