Hi,
Can someone tell me how this works?
I have a number of tags defined (when I use the Tag tab, I see my tasks listed by tags), but when I want to add a task and I enter the field "Tag", a message "loadind tags" briefly appears and nothing else happens.

A message to Toodledo: When you add a new feature, can you please add it to the help section at the same time?

Thanks.

After you see the message "Loading tags...", your tags should appear in the dialog box so you can select an existing one if you wish.

If you are not seeing this, and you already have some tags defined, then I guess there could be an issue with your browser. Perhaps flush your cache and see if that works, or try another browser just to check.

Hello Peter,
I installed Chrome and tried again. Some problem; I don't see my tags.

Does it just stay on "Loading tags..." forever?

No, the message appears briefly (less than one second) and then disappears.
The same problem happens with Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 6.0 and with Chrome.

When I click on View by Tab, I see my tasks ordered per tag, which confirms that I do have tags.

Thanks.

Is there an ETA for autocomplete? I love the most-common-tags cloud, with size determined by frequency, but I use a lot of tags, and many aren't in the cloud. Several times, I've accidentally created new tags - for example, by putting an "s" on the end of a word - and that can be a hassle to clean up.

Bruno,

Can you please create a support ticket so that we can look into your account? We have been unable to replicate your problem.

S,
We released tag autocomplete a few days ago.

Any chance of adding a Tag editor like you currently have for Folders and Contexts? Would make management of tags MUCH easier.

Thanks for the suggestion. We can't comment on a timeframe for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.

Please, please create an option for me to turn off the tag cloud. Sometimes, the cloud is so large that that entry box for typing goes out of frame. This means that is not only really difficult to enter tags, but, to correct any mistakes, I have to go to my iPhone.

Would love a tag editor too, it is very confusing now since some tags show up and some don't.

Website: request outline navigation and email in subtasks

I can't tell you how much more useful the web site would be if one can type in subtask after subtask without having to use the mouse.

And, it would be very useful if subtasks could be reorganized without using the mouse.

I would like to say that I would also appreciate the tag picker like the context and folder one, so I can always have a default list of tag choices, even if I am not using certain ones at the moment. Thanks

Any progress on a setting to turn the tag cloud off? Is this still in the queue?

I would love the ability to easily clear all tags. If there were a little "X" at the right of the text box that you could click on to clear the box's contents, that would be perfect. That would make it a lot easier to switch from one tag to another.


Couldn't you just use Ctrl+A & delete? Or if you tend to use your mouse more, triple click in the field & then delete. It seems a bit unnecessary to clutter up the interface any more than necessary for something that can be achieved so easily already.


I too really would like the capability to clear tags ... I love the new tag window ... but for me, I would like to quickly tag or untag individual tags but simply clicking on the tag link in that window (toggle on or off). Right now, if I have a list of 5 tags, separated by commas (perhaps 1 is a mistake) then it is a real PAIN to select and delete the one tag I don't want.

If this were just about correcting mistakes in the tag list I would not say anything. it is more about being able to quickly add or remove tags at will.

It is indeed a pain. In the grander scheme of things, of course it seems trivial I can live with it, just like I live with migraines. But managing that tag window is a relatively high inconvenience - (now worse because the popup window can disappear in the process of switching from mouse to keybd).

Being patient and hoping that one minor, incremental fix will turn this feature from an annoyance into a huge productivity boost.

I can definitely see the point of this one, since it is more fiddly to delete a single tag (particularly given the fact that the tag box is a set width so tags are often off the edge if you have several). At the moment, clicking on the same tag twice gives you multiple identical tags, which seems a bit odd. Toggling would make a lot more sense.
