How to change all tags to hierarchy
Hello! I'm trying to add all my tags to another column for easier library tagging management, I'm able to move all my tags from one column to another, but I'm not able to convert the tags to a hierarchy, eg:
long, fantasy, favourite -> long.fantasy.favourite I am trying to do this in bulk, but it appears like this: [your test] fantasy, long, favourite -> fantasy.long.favourite [book 1] fantasy, long, favourite -> fantasy ::: long ::: favourite https://imgur.com/a/uptNBDO Adding a \ before the comma doesn't help either. Any advice appreciated!! I have 0 programming knowledge whatsoever. Last edited by coolioniki; 03-07-2024 at 10:08 PM. Reason: image not showing |

It is hard to imagine how this can be useful. IIRC tags are unordered, so you could end up with long.fantasy.favourite, fantasy.long.favourite, favourite.fantasy.long, etc. It gets worse if you have more tags. That said ...
Search & replace operates on 1 tag at a time, not the set of tags. There is never a comma in a single tag, so your search/replace does nothing. To do what you want, you need to use the "template" search field. The template is {tags}, or perhaps in your case {#filter}. This lets you get all the tags as a single value instead as individual values. You then replace COMMA SPACE with PERIOD, as in ", " and ".". Set the destination field to tags or #filter. Here is an image of the Search & replace dialog. |
