but did the developer add them recently ?

Recently in the last 7 years.

Today's Labels were originally known as Tags and introduced in v7.90.0054 - 2009-01-17 14:49.
A flurry of work went on and 11 days later Don (the developer) bumped the number up:

Code: Select all

v7.90.0080 - 2009-01-28 21:13
. . .
    * Tags: Max number raised to 16 (incl. "None"). So, additionally to 
      the 7 predefined color schemes (plus non-editable scheme "None"), 
      you can add another 8 schemes.

Then almost 2 years later Tags became Labels:

Code: Select all

v9.80.0106 - 2010-12-12 14:43
      Tags 2.0, Phase 1
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    * List: The "Tag" column in Details view has been renamed to 
      "Label".
      Note that this has been achieved by inserting a layer of 
      abstraction between data and display, i.o.w. the internal data 
      stored in INI-files and wherever else (e.g. Folder View Settings) 
      continue to use "Tag" to refer to this column to ensure full 
      backward compatibility.
      The upcoming "Tags" column internally uses "Tags" so there is no 
      collision.
. . .
    * Configuration | Tags: Adjusted the interface to the new "Label" 
      term. Note that "tags" (and "tagging") is generally used as 
      container term for Tags, Labels and Comments -- just like 
      "tag.dat" is the file where all these data are stored.

Hi,

In the latest version, 18.2, there are both tags and labels under the favorites file tab. The difference is not very apparent to me and the documentation (tour) only talks about labels. Could either the documentation be updated or both of them combined into one?

Why? What's your problem with it?
