it is possible to select a group of notes and add or remove tags for the entire group. That is a wounderful and powerfull feature but it is potentially dangerous:
The problem:
I have tags organized like 'lawsuit-foo', 'lawsuit-bar', 'lawsuit-' and so on.
That tag schema is not perfect for me so I want to change it to 'lawsuit' and a second tag which marks the company/person related to that lawsuit. For example a group with 'lawsuit' and 'foo', another group with 'lawsuit' and 'bar'. The idea is to select all notes with tag 'lawsuit'
to change the tags I selected all notes with tag 'lawsuit-foo' and removed the tag.
without hesitation EN removed the tag and took the modified note out of the list. :-)
but what I wanted was to remove the tag 'lawsuit-foo' and add two new tags 'lawsuit' and 'foo' to the same group
Requested Solution:
EN shall not change the group of selected notes if one does edit the tags for a whole group of notes
EN shall show a warning if one removes a tag from a larger group of notes.
as far as I know is there a similar feature for our windows collegues. I guess that they would be have the same warning window. :-)
Workaround for EN-Users
a small group of Notes can be selected via sort by modification time. A large group or heavy changes results in a loss of all changes:
quit the EN application _very_ quick without syncronizing
remove the EN notes directories (the Evernote directory in ~/Library/Application Support and the cache folder ~/Library/Caches
