Color-coding based on tags

Post by auing »

I am trying to use Color Filters to make items blue when they have the tag "default", however when items have other tags in addition to "default" they no longer are blue (I want them to).

I have tried both of the following color filters:

Code: Select all

prop:#tags:default
prop:#tags:default, *
In the XYplorer Help for Color Filters it says:
Color-coding based on tags (lbl:, tags:, cmt:)
You can as well color-code items by their tags. The syntax is identical to that of Visual Filters by Tags.
And in help for Visual Filters by Tags:
tags: A comma-separated list of tags, case-insensitive (A==a).
All tags must be present in item (item can have more tags).
[...]
Example:
tags:Rock,Pop -> with tags Rock and Pop (and possibly any other tags)
This indeed works for visual filters but not for color filters.

I think this is a bug or am I missing something?

Welcome to the club!

This is not the preferred syntax (yep, the Help file needs some cleanup here):

Code: Select all

prop:#tags:default
Simply do this:

Code: Select all

tags:default

Thanks! This works.

Is there any other place to read about how features work, rather than in the help file?

The change log: https://www.xyplorer.com/download/History.txt
But you have to know how to read it since it is a backward chronology (newest on top). So older info might be overwritten by newer info.
