Tag Count

[chicleeblair]

When you’re configuring tags, it shows you how many works have that tag either in the full library or the virtual library. That’s great, but to see the work(s) and determine if I want to keep the tag, I have to close out the tag browser, search the tag, and then reopen the configuration window.

Is there a way to make that simple if I don’t want to go through my tags work by work? I understand that it probably works that way because if you delete a tag while the configuration browser is open things could go wonky, but it’s frustrating.

??? Open /Close ???
If you click the tiny arrow, (IF partitioned tagB1)
In the Tag Browser you click on a tag and it gains a Green +, (see TagB2) that shows the books with that tag in the Library

IF you right-click the entry, you get a menu: (see tagB3

Rename and Delete are the most common that I use.
Rename has value lookup help just, like other places in calibre. That allows quick normalization of the valies

I assume you mean the Category editor (Tags) dialogue that is accessed from the Manage categories->Tags menu action:



Deletes and changes aren't committed until OK is pressed. So, it ought be possible to pop an abbreviated list of 'books' that use a Tag, Series, Publisher, Author, etc prior to deleting, or changing it. Just a matter of someone wanting to do it.

FWIW I agree… it's frustrating at times.
