Autocomplete tags when searching

[cal2195]

It would be a very neat feature to auto complete tags when searching from the search fields! 👍

I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement in the current setup, but it would be worth thinking about with #53! 👍

Will make sure this is part of the feature when I work on it ✅

Working on it this weekend - along with #53

[whyboris]

Oh yea! That's done 👌

Reopening as I meant this in reference to the "tag filters"! 😄

[whyboris]

There's a bit of a tweak I'd like to work on to the auto tag filters that show up in the details view -- namely the 2-word auto-tags should show up as 2 words (rather than one).

I'll work on that part - and then later I can look into auto-completion of both manual and auto-tags in the sidebar search 👍

[cal2195]

I wonder if we should not remove tags that are in the "two word tags" from the "one word tags" and show both in the auto tags? 💡

It makes sense to have both words as individual tags, but they also have a different meaning when they're used together! I meant to bring this up earlier! 👍 Thoughts?

I forgot the current functionality -- I am removing one-word tags that appear in two-word combinations, right?

If I did that, it was likely because if I didn't the one-word-tags would grow to be at least 2x the size.

A user can add the 1-word tags manually if wanted; I am still leaning towards not adding the 2-word tags as two separate words into the 1-word tag column.

Feels faster for the user to add a few missing ones, than having to remove a large number of duplicates. Though as usual I'm not very clear about what people are using this app for 😅

Hey @cal2195 -- I'm trying to finalize the app v2.0.0 and I might encroach on your tagging feature a bit. I'm sorry ahead of time if I end up reverting some of your work -- it isn't intentional.

I've not looked at the auto-generated or manually-added tag code in over a month and don't remember how some of it behaves. I'll try to fix whatever bugs I find and add whatever features we discussed above and before (unless they end up being too complex for this release).

I'd rather get everything release-ready within a week or two so I have enough time to polish off the icons and update the website (record new animations, etc).

I'll try to get all the tag bugfixes and features into a single PR and keep it open for a while so you have a time to glance at it and give me feedback -- you've done excellent work with tags and I'd rather not overwrite your intentions 🙇

Cheers 🤝

[cal2195]

That sounds good to me! I'll have a look through the bugs now and see what I can do to help! 👍 Let me know if you'd like me to tackle anything!

Don't worry about postponing anything new or current you'd like to be more polished - gotta have something for future releases! 😉

@cal2195 you're a genius! I just noticed that if the autoFileTags is enabled (so they show up in blue in the details / edit meta view), then when you do the tag search - they are part of the search, but if you disable the autoFileTags, they are not part of the search 💥 😮 🙇
