I’m trying to understand how nested tagging works in practice; it seems sometimes items show up in two places and sometimes only in one. I’ve got item A tagged with devonthink
and devonthink/ai
(the slash is an intended part of the tag name) and I’ve got item B tagged with devonthink
and devonthink/scripting
.
Why is item B not showing up under devonthink
? If I remove the tag devonthink/ai
for item A and add it again, it also only shows up under devonthink/ai
- not under devonthink
anymore. So it seems this is the intended behavior.
Questions:
- Are these considered inconsistencie created when tags get shuffled or (re)created?
- Is the intended behavior that an item only shows up under the leaf tag (and not in two places)?
If these are considered inconsistencies; would the workaround / fix be to simple loop through all items with a script and reapply the tags (remove tags, save item, add same tags again)?
Item A: tagged with devonthink
and devonthink/ai
and indeed showing up both under devonthink
and devonthink/ai
Item B: tagged with devonthink
and devonthink/scripting
but not showing up under devonthink
, only under devonthink/scripting
