Tag Management

[RompitaKablo]

Is there any way to centrally manage tags?

I imported notes from another app. Those notes had tags, some of which comprised two words (e.g. "Install Info"). Poznote has imported this as two separate tags, "Install" and "Info".

I would like to go to some kind of tag management page so I can delete the "Info" tag, all at once from all notes. I would then like to rename "Install" to "Install_Info" and have that tag updated all at once on all notes.

Is there a method I have failed to find already in Poznote? If not could tag management please be considered for a future version?

Hello ! Good to hear from you. 😊

Yes you can do that already in Poznote.

Go to the Dashboard then click on the icon "Notes":

Filter your tag:

Select all (make sure you select all in all folders):



Then a menu will appear where you can apply several actions all at once:



You cannot rename a tag but you can add "Install_Info" tag then remove "Install" tag.

I would recommend you to make a backup (very easy and quick action) before playing with your tags in case it doesn't do what you wanted. Even a backup before each bulk action.

Note that in the search bar, you can filter by tags only and even filter several:

Also you can filter your tags here:

Thank-you! I should have known you would have already tackled this!

I am probably being a bit petty but I do think that it's not all that intuitive to find this. I went to the tags_list page as that seemed more logical for tag management but I must admit I have been "conditioned" by other note apps!

I did try to move over to Poznote a while back but after importing my notes from another app it would have taken me just too long to edit them so they worked again. I have returned as I have been keeping an eye on Poznote and your "insane" development speed (that's a compliment! :) ).

Anyway, now trying again and if I have any suggestions, rather than bugs, I will use the "discussion" section rather than "issues" (apologies).

No, don't worry, you're absolutely right. Some features aren't that intuitive, and many users probably don't realize Poznote can do this or that. Thinking about it, I probably would have gone to the tags list as well, so that's definitely something I need to improve.

I always try to keep the interface as clean and uncluttered as possible, but sometimes that means my design choices aren't the best (I'm not a UX engineer 😄). That's exactly why feedback is so valuable to me. Some things feel obvious because I built them, but they're not necessarily obvious for other users.

I understand. Poznote wasn't maybe that much ready for users to migrate existing notes few months back. If you encounter any problems during the import, don't hesitate to let me know.

I actually started working intensively on Poznote during the July holidays last year, so it's now been about a year that I've been working on it almost every day. I put a lot of effort into it because I use it myself for all my own notes, so I really want it to work well. 😊

And don't worry about using the Discussions or Issues section. It's mainly there to help me organize requests and keep track of them properly nothing serious at all. That said, if you find an actual bug, please open an issue rather than a discussion. So really, no need to apologize! 😉
