The Qodesmith 15 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 When trying to tag a new note created in Evernote for Android, the tag list has no hierarchy, rather its in alphabetical order. Anyone else find this counter-intuitive? I've gone through the trouble of creating the tag hierarchy only to have it removed when needed in Android. If any dev's are checking this out, this is just a constructive criticism of EN5 for Android. It would be more efficient to have the tag hierarchy maintained when trying to tag a note in Android. The only workaround I know is to create tags that have the hierarchy in them. This becomes cumbersome and the tags get long. For example:ProjectsProjects.WorkProjects.PersonalProjects.HomeProjects.Home.BasementProjects.Home.Attic MusicMusic.BusinessMusic.SongsMusic.Song IdeasMusic.Song Ideas.Completed etc. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted July 31, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Android tag edit control uses whatever characters you've typed to filter the flat tag list: type a few characters, select the tag. This is pretty common throughout the Evernote clients that I use (Windows, Web, Android). If you can remember your tag names, then it's not too difficult, though I'd usually do the bulk of my tagging on a desktop machine (though without using the hierarchically presented tag panel): the desktop clients do have the ability to tag multiple notes in one go, very handy. The concatenated.tag.hierarchy.scheme doesn't work so well with this type of UI: it may lead to too many matches for common prefixes, and excessively long tag names. Link to comment

The "concatenated.tag.hierarchy.scheme" is a bust for sure. Unfortunately, it's the only workaround I know. That and remembering all your tags, like you suggested. The issue I bring up is when I have a new note and I'd like to scroll through the list of tags to tag that note. At that point, it would be very helpful to have the hierarchy in tact. But yes, regardless of hierarchy, the list will begin to filter when typing in a tag. Link to comment
