Tag Hierarchy

Post by Aeriessy »

So, I've been trying to figure out the way I want to do this for months now.

I want to organize tags like this but I believe I'm missing something because at the moment, all it does is add new tags to the general tag list without any reference to the list names:
viewtopic.php?p=64291#p64291

So far, it looks like the most convenient method is using Tag Clouds, making different categories in the Catalog and selecting the ones needed for the search but I don't prefer doing it in this way.

I'm wondering if there is a way to record tags like listed in the first link:

Code: Select all

"tag list 1" taglist("jan,feb,march");
"tag list 2" taglist("may,june,july");
"tag list 3" taglist("oct,nov,dec");
And accessed like this via dropdown menu on the "Find by Tags" toolbar icon like (random google image):

Should I be following this process and making my own toolbar button? Does it do a double dropdown like this? Do I make edits to the XYPlorer.ini file directly or is there a GUI for it?

I'm still incredibly new to scripting, I apologize if it's an easy fix. I want to make sure to cover the available ways to accomplish a tag hierarchy before I invest in one. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Just trying to figure it all out. :oops:

No hierarchy supported. If you want to accomplish something like this, none of the gui ways will help you, you'd need to write your own scripts...

Alright, good to know! I wanted to confirm there aren't existing resources that was already done for a feature like this. It'll be something on my list to figure out. Thanks for the feedback.
