Tags and sub-tags

Post by clexidra »

Hello,
I'm wonder if it is possible to create a tag and a sub-tag (or child), i.e.:

tag "pippo"
sub-tag "pluto"
sub-tag "minnie"

so I can tag a file with tag "pippo:pluto" and when I search files with tag "pippo" I extract all files with tag "pippo", "pippo:pluto" and "pippo:minnie"

thanks

There is no tag hierarchy built in so you'd need to use
a specific tag search, e.g.

Code: Select all

pippo:*
to find
all items with the main and the sub tags...

Building on highend's example: Searching tags for "pippo:*" will skip items with only the top-level tag (pippo).

Search (View > Find Files or View > Quick Search) with a pattern like this to find all items tagged with at least the top-level tag "pippo", as well and any or no sub tags.

Code: Select all

tags:"pippo" OR "pippo:*"
XYplorer does not provide any feature explicitly specific to tag hierarchy, but it lets you do a very convincing make-believe. The important step is to pick a tag hierarchy separator (: for your case) and stick to it, and to use some handy logical search as demonstrated above.

Thank you, so a tag hierachy as the one in "Tabbles" doesn't exists in xyplorer ?
It is not possible to implement it ?
Thanks.

Not as a dedicated hierarchy interface, no.
