Tagging by Dragging/Heirarchy

[John12713 0]

Hey folks,

Probably been discussed before but I couldn't find an answer.

I do a lot of work in Evernote Desktop and I love it. Tagging a note with the four or five tags that are appropriate can be tedious, however.

Are there settings that would allow me to:

• Auto tag a new note if I am creating a new note from within the window that lists notes for a that tag? i.e. if I am currently exploring tag "Soon" and I click "new note" can it be automatically tagged with "Soon"?
• Tag a note I drag into the lowest-level tag in a hierarchy of nested tags with all of the tags in the hierarchy above? For instance, if I created a tag "blue" within tag "colors", which is in turn within tag "qualities", and I dragged a new note to "blue", it would have all three tags.

Thanks for your help or suggestions, and since I'm new to the forum please excuse any lapses in proper terminology

Take Care,

John12713

No tools to do this automatically. If you need to make a lot of "Soon" tagged notes, the easiest thing to to would be to make a note template that has the "Soon" tag, and copy it to whatever notebook you need.

Again, there is no tool that does this that I know of. On the other hand, Evernote just added the ability to search for any notes containing a subtag of another tag (e.g. any note that has a subtag of "color", like "blue"). It's a global setting (Tools / Options / Navigation / "Automatically select child tags"), which I think is unfortunate (the rare occasions when I'd use something like that, I'd want it as an ad hoc thing), but you might find it useful in your use case.
