arose10 42 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 In the Mac app, it seems like the only way to view a tag's "parent" and "children" tags is via the tags section of the sidebar. Am I missing something? For example, it would be super useful, when viewing a tag itself, to not only see that tag's notes, but to also see - and easily jump to - that tag's parents and children tags. Is this not possible?

Where are you thinking it should be displayed? Let's say you did a search for a tag and are currently viewing the tag, and you want to see and perhaps jump to that tag's parent or children tags. If, like a lot of people, you have several hundred tags, it's a pain to have to then scroll and click through the sidebar to locate the tags in question. It would be much more convenient to have the parents and children displayed right there. Link to comment

All other displays are alphabetical lists Yep. That's what I'm seeing. Bummer! Link to comment

One solution I use is in tag naming convention.For example, instead of using tagnames Red, White, Blue, I use Colour-Red, Colour-White, Colour-Blue. In an alphabetical list, the tags sort together along with the parent Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted February 4, 2018 Level 5 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I use a 3-character prefix to my tags. Search becomes very powerful. I use a 2-level hierarchical tag parent/child system. It has served me very well over the past 10 years. I have a lot of tags and this system helps me remember them for easy use.

Sometimes it's helpful to see the hierarchy right in front of you without having to resort to search or fumble through the sidebar menu. Link to comment
