Tag behavior

[bourdonffm]

 I'm curious about how the tags are managed. I get the impression that they apply only to the current workspace or folder and not system-wide. 
This would result in a certain amount of redundancy - but it doesn’t seem to be the case, because when I click the “Tags” button in the sidebar and select a tag in the right-hand pane, not ALL notes tagged with that tag are displayed. I’m not entirely sure what determines what’s displayed: e.g. in area A there are 4 notes with identical tags, in area B none, and in area C 12. If I’m in area A and click on “Tags,” the view switches to area C. If I switch back to area A, the tags are highlighted in color (correctly).
Shouldn't all notes with the same tags be displayed? Regardless of which workspace or folder they're in. Just curious.
My deepest gratitude to the programmer, It's a pleasure to work with Poznote

Thanks, and good catch.

Tags themselves are global: they are stored as plain text on each note, so the same tag name is the same tag everywhere. What is scoped is the view. The Tags page and the search behind a tag click are both limited to your current workspace (all folders of it, but that workspace only), like search, trash and the dashboard.

You did find a real bug though: the Tags page only applied that scoping when the workspace was present in the URL, and otherwise listed every workspace's tags with global counts, while the tag search stayed scoped. Fixed for the next release.

The jump to another folder is separate and stays: after a tag click Poznote opens the most recently updated note carrying that tag, and the sidebar follows it there.

A cross-workspace tag view does not exist today. If you would use one, open a feature request and I will look into it.

My deepest gratitude to you for your kind messages and for your support. 😊
