Custom tags are working with the MackxPatch, I modified metadb to allow multiple keywords in the tag-field, so a document can be 'fav' and 'mustread'. The tags can be edited on the DR, however the current dialog is not the most user-friendly way to change the tag.
Tag navigation is currently implemented with 'Views' on HOME. This must be done by installing a schema-file and settings some value defined in the schema. This must be prepared on a PC and installed on the DR, so this is not very user-friendly. The position on HOME (and if displayed at all) can be modified on the DR, they way that must be done is also not very user friendly right now.
There is currently no 'View' that allows to navigate tag based, all views are static, for one single tag only. I like your idea of tag navigation. Maybe it can behave like the SD-Card view, but then folders are tags. So on the first level, you would see all tags (more precise all separate words in tag) and all documents. Selecting a tag would open a new view that shows all documents that at least have that tag. It would also show the other tags that this new set of documents also has. I.e. if we would select the 'mustread'-tag and there is a document that has both a 'mustread'- and a 'fav'-tag there would be a 'folder' named 'fav' to limit the selection further.
This would only allow to implement an 'and'-view. What are your ideas on how a tag-view should look like? Which functionality would you like it to have, i.e. complex selection of tags or only simple and of tags to limit the seletion.
I like the functionality of the inbox-manager to move files to other locations (although I have not used it). Maybe that can be extended to update the title/author/tag of the documents. See the mtag-program in Programs\_mackxpatch\bin\mtag (sources in patches\mtools\mtag) which allows to change title, author and tag.
Marcel.
