As far as I know its been like that since VL's were 'invented'.

headdesk - repeat ad nauseum.
sigh. It's coming up the way it should now and I have no idea what I might have done differently.

Maybe you've stumbled on another long standing quirk of VLs. Do you have any View Manager search effects in play.
|
I'm usually working with View Manager with an initial Virtual Library of #done:false and series:false. Because I'm working with fanfiction I usually then select the fandom I want to work on from a custom column called #fandom and add it to the Virtual Library setting with the *current search option. Up until now if I went to Manage Tags the very first tag that appeared was always (Merlin)/Freya even when I had a fandom that wasn't Merlin selected for the VL.
If I can get it to do it again where it doesn't narrow down the tags in Manage Tags I'll post the steps to hopefully recreate it.

¿ What bulk operations can you do in Manage Tags that you can't do with right click operations in the Categories sidebar (tag browser) ? Apart from sorting by count.. actually I think you even can do that, somewhere there's something to do with arranging Tags by 'popularity' - might be a Tweak.

Unless I'm missing something right-clicking in the Categories sidebar and then selecting Manage Tags is the same as going to Alter Tags=>Manages Authors, Tags, Etc=>Manage Tags.
All that I'm looking to be able to do is manage aka delete tags within a specific virtual library. Which it apparently does now even though I could have sworn it absolutely wasn't just before I made my original post. Meh.
Thanks for taking a look even if I am apparently going crazy.
