So, some more specific thoughts, better / other ideas welcome, not sure
when any coding might occur.
p.v.u['str_tags'] = ['one', 'two words']
This doesn't work, which is reasonable, what I was thinking was JSON
encoding would be nice, but anything but plain strings are still
hexlified. So
p.v.u['str_tags'] = 'one|two words|St. Petersburg, Russia'
Pipe delimited tags? Or stick with commas and expect people to use
"St. Petersburg - Russia"?
Tags will be unordered?
API
tags are lists, or set, of strings, the p.v.u format should not concern
the user...
c.tags() # all tags in outline
g.tags() # all tags in all outlines
c.tags_positions_for_tags(list_of_tags)
g.tags_positions_for_tags(list_of_tags)
c.tags_vnodes_for_tags(list_of_tags, unique=True)
g.tags_vnodes_for_tags(list_of_tags, unique=True)
p.tags() # all tags for position
p.tags_add(list_of_tags)
p.tags_remove(list_of_tags)
p.tags_set(list_of_tags) # remove all and replace
p.tags_has_tags(list_of_tags) # check p has all these tags
Initially, p.tags() will be something like
return p.v.u['str_tags'].split('|')
with optimization (caching) for speed when it is needed, not
prematurely.
GUI
I still favor something like the bookmarks.py GUI illustrated at the
beginning of this thread. But Ville's column in the tree idea is
interesting too, having both would be nice. The tree view raises the
question of how to abbreviate tags. Perhaps either
g.app.db['tags']['abbreviation'][tag], or @settings --> @data
tag_abbreviations.
Also coloring for tags, I think this is good for rapid visual scanning
- perhaps the random-deterministic approach bookmarks.py uses, with
user supplied overrides in g.app.db / @settings as above.
Clicking a particular tag, perhaps with a modifier, could take you to
the next node with the same tag. Clicking a tag with a different
modifier could remove that tag from the node. Kent's comment that
adding tags to nodes should feature some kind of autocompletion / drop
down list makes sense too.
