Tags in Mori 1.6

Tags ( )

Hi,

just started with mori 1.6. I like the ability to add Tags, but I think the implementation could be improved. Though I can use a Tagfolder I'd prefer the ability to use a context-menu i addition tio drag and drop. There are interface-situatins (very long list of folders/itens on the left) that make this desirably.

And: how about tags in columns?

OK so much for now,

Greetings

Rolf

These are both great ideas -

These are both great ideas - you should make a feature request (perhaps 2 separate requests) for these. See Mori > Help > Requests and Bugs, or go directly to http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/node/add/project_issue

This will allow others to vote on the requests.

Keyboard Navigation to Tag Field

Jesse:

Thanks for the tag functionality - looking forward to exploring it.

One thing I'm currently wondering: Is there a way to quickly navigate - via the keyboard - from the entry title field to the tag field. For instance, from the Entries pane I'd like to be able to create a new document, type it's title, then immediately jump to the tag field to enter tags (without having to grab the mouse).

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Tab should work I think. Or

Tab should work I think. Or if you are editing a column in the entries view use Control-Tab to jump to editing the title in the note view header instead of just editing the next column in the entires view.

Thank you, sir. Control-Tab

Thank you, sir. Control-Tab does the trick.

Also really dig the new preference to choose the destination folder for clippings, Jesse. Very helpful and much appreciated.

Finding/Grouping Un-tagged Entries

Hoping someone can help me sort out a way to quickly and easily separate entries that have been tagged from entries that have not. I have tried using both Smart Folders and Tag Folders in the following way:

Tags... Does not contain any... Tag1, Tag2, Etc. (Here I list all the tags that have been used throughout the notebook).

This works immediately after creating the new Smart/Tag Folder, but then the results seem to intermittently appear and disappear (with or without "Live Updates of Search Results" being checked).

Ideally of course, I'd like to be able to search for a null set in the tag field, rather than have to enter the whole list of tags to be excluded, and rather than have to create a dummy tag (i.e. "NoTag") which I would then have to delete from each entry that I wished to add real tags to.

Any thoughts? Anyone? Buelller?

Sorry, I think it might just

Sorry, I think it might just not be possible right now, though you could write an applescript to do it I think.

Thanks for the reply, Jesse,

Thanks for the reply, Jesse, although I'm afraid applescripting is not in my wheelhouse.

Continuing with this thread, is there a way to batch-remove tags? I have tried selecting multiple entries, opening the inspector, and removing the tag, but it appears that the inspector was applying itself only to the first entry selected. (If this turns out to be a no-brainer, sorry for missing it.)

This script should help you

This script should help you to find all entries with no tags:

tell application "Mori"
tell front document
repeat with each in entries
set l to tags of each
set c to count l
if c is equal to 0 then
log "found entry with no tags"
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell

At the moment being able to clear tags eludes me... gota love applescript and it's "simple" syntax.

Hi, trying out this script:

Hi,

trying out this script: nothing happens… ?? used it on anotebook where there where entrys with and without tags.

I didn't actually add any

I didn't actually add any code to do anything once an entry without tags was found, wasn't sure what you wanted. Anyway I've modified things, this version will mark each entry that's found with no tags as flagged:

tell application "Mori"
tell front document
repeat with each in entries
set l to tags of each
set c to count l
if c is equal to 0 then
set flagged of each to true
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Script to batch-remove tags

Edmo: Here is a script to remove tags from the selected entries. As Jesse had mentioned, there is no direct way to clear the tags, so the script is kind of a workaround. I hope it will work for you.

tell application "Mori"
tell front document
set current_entries to selection
repeat with this_entry in current_entries
tell this_entry
set these_tags to tags
set n to (count of these_tags)
repeat n times
set this_name to name of tag 1
remove tag this_name
end repeat
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

charm!

Hi,

works like a charm! So one necessary cornerstone for working with Tags in Mori is there (maybe sth. within Mori later)

Tagging Functionality & Applescripts

Jesse & Dennis:

Thank you both for your help with these scripts. I have pasted a script below, which might be called "Flag Tagless Entries from Selected Entries". It is a modified version of Jesse's script above, which Flags any and all entries in the notebook that don't currently have tags. Please note that I am an ABSOLUTE noob w/ regards to writing an applescript. I just tried to glean from Dennis's script how to modify Jesse's script, and it seemed to work for me. Please use at your own risk.

Dennis - wrt your "Batch-Remove Tags" script - any help available (yourself or anyone else) re. how to choose one or more specific tags to remove from the selected entries, rather than removing any and all tags from them?

Jesse - wrt planned Tag functionality, any chance of giving us an idea about what you're envisioning, both in terms of functionality and timeframes? This may be asking too much, and if it is, I understand. Either way, thanks for the help and the great app.

SCRIPT - FLAG TAGLESS ENTRIES FROM SELECTED ENTRIES
tell application "Mori"
tell front document
set current_entries to selection
repeat with this_entry in current_entries
tell this_entry
set l to tags
set c to count l
if c is equal to 0 then
set flagged to true
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

more on tagging

I'd like to add, today I found out that it seems not to be possible to batch-edit entries: adding tags to a number of entries.
Sorry but so far tagging really doesn't feel very useful to me… That ability really need to be amended:
either via context-menu (as I suggested) or via the info-panel which then needs to pop up for the whole selection (e.g. several

I dodnot feel that as bloating mori in any way… though I cannot say anything about the necessary code.

Rolf
