Replace tag category

Post by marsh »

Currently, there is a tag category. I propose replacing it with "basket" function (which has been discussed in other topics). Tags would then work only in current directory. This would simplify what already exists by having less options to discover. And users who think categories are disorienting won't be shown 2 different functions sharing same name.

Fullscreen info addition:
[x] Tag status
[x] Basket status

Menu items replaced:
Clear all tags > Empty basket
Show all tagged files > Show basket

Category replaced:
Tag (0) > Basket (0)

Key shortcuts:
??? >Add to basket

+1 I agree too, for me Tag is also a kind of Basket (a "poor" basket function for the moment, but can be improved step by step, I guess ?, if this function is also implemented into the Windows version v1.9X one day) !

Or better, Tag function can be just deleted ( no more needed and too confusing if the basket function exist - also for MP versions )

But I have read than Basket will probably be implemented first into the XnView MP versions .
