Tag missing from tags list

[drkenyon 0]

Just noticed today. I'm running Windows ver. 5.8.13.8152 One tag that I use a lot is missing from the list under "tags". Evernote knows it exists, because when I try to re-create it it say it already exists. Can't find it nested under anything either.  Recent update maybe?

Try shutting down EN all the way by File - Exit and then restart to see if that resets things. 

 

Also, you can check the web and see if you see what you expect to see there.

I just discovered that 1 tag with similar title like "Important Note of Mine" in thousands of notes of my Evernote is gone, I found this thread by searching, I reported my incident following this thread for the record.  The concept to have a tag as mentioned is to provide myself a quick way to find those notes tagged because I think they are important, now they are all gone, I don't even know when the tag disappeared.

I discovered the problem with my missing tag. It was hidden, "nested" underneath another tag. You might have to look through a bunch to find it.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not following you, isn't a user capable to find any tag through operations like clicking "Crtl+Q" and types the tag name or clicks on the magnifier icon somewhere at the left panel and type the tag name and find it? I tried both, did not find my missing tag. I will keep trying, I hope I am as lucky as you are.

It might not be possible to find  the tag by name if it is nested under another tag. You'd have to search for something like "top tag:Important Note of Mine" to find it...and you don't know what the "top tag" is.  Scroll down the left (tags) panel and see if any of your tags have a > (right arrow) next to them. This indicates that there are more tags listed beneath them. If you find one, right click and select "move to top level". Hope this helps

I have a feeling that your solution might not be suitable for me, my tag system is quiet a huge one-approximate 1,500 tags with many right arrows and many levels, it is not a human task to find a tag among a large tag tree structure as described. But hey, thank you for your information.

Another way to do this is to go to Tags View (Ctrl-Shift-T) and type the tag name into the search box.  The tag should appear highlighted in the list and you will be able to see the parent hierarchy of the tag.

Thanks for reply, I knew that, the reason I skipped this method is that this method is not practical according to my user experience, it should works like what you said, but every time I did that, let's say, if I input a word "Evernote" into search box of Tags View, it shall take approximate one second or less, but it took "11 seconds" for the word "Evernote" input process to be finished, I never actually timed it, I just did because I'm just about to put down in words in this forum.  BTW, I made a search for this "input delay" issue in Evernote forum with chosen keywords ""tags view" slow"(or replaced Slow with Delay or Input), I got zero search result, that is not what I expected, but anyway...just so you know why I skipped the method.  I did not report it because it is not my priority issue of Evernote application activities-I'm having a workaround for the described glitch, and I use it a lot.

You are welcome.  Try searching the forum for "not responding", in quotes.  You will get quite a few threads discussing this and some of the things folks have done to address slowness in EN.

Quickest way to find a tag somewhere in the tag nest is to check "Scroll left panel item into view when the item is selected", which is the third checkbox in Options, under the Navigation tab. You can then do a Ctrl+Q search or a Alt+Shift+T search and you will jump right to that tag with no lag in my experience. But if Ctrl+Q can't find it, it's probably gone.

I just checked it after I read your reply, but it seems to me that none of the "not responding" issues posted is alike to mine, the issue I described happens only to the input process in search box of "Tags View"...perhaps I shall consider to start a new thread, I'm trying to keep my online activities economic though...

Thanks for your reply, I think it is gone.
