Mori’s tag folders are in some ways similar to Smart Folders, in that they also collect entries based on search criteria. The difference is that you can also drag and drop entries onto a tag folder, and the tag folder’s search criteria will be applied to the dropped entries. Tag folders are a good way to quickly create related collection of entries outside of the folder/file hierarchy. For example let’s say that you wanted to be able to tag entries as “work” and also apply a “red” label to them at the same time. Here’s how you could create a tag folder to do this:
- First choose the menu item File > New Tag Folder…
- In the Tag folder sheet add a search criteria for “Tags contains all work” and for “Label is red”.
- Click OK to finish creating the folder. Now try dragging and dropping one of your existing entries onto the new tag folder. The dropped entry’s label will become “red” and the tag “work” will be added to the entry. (You can see an entries tags by showing the inspector window, or by showing the Note Header View.
To change the search criteria of a Tag Folder, select the Tag Folder and choose the menu item Edit > Edit Tag Folder.
To find an entry’s original location in your notebook select the entry and choose the menu item View > Reveal Location.
