Right-click on a tag to delete it

[Bertrand Rousseau]

It should be possible to delete a tag when via the context menu (wehn right clicking on a tag).

I guess all task currently having this tag should be modified, then.

[Bertrand Rousseau (bertrand-rousseau)]

Strange, I don't remember fixing this one. Maybe an error from me. However: reopening this is not implement and much needed.

Do you will allow this only for tags with 0 task ?

If not, it means that the task has to be parsed in order to remove the tag. Not that easy...

[Bertrand Rousseau (bertrand-rousseau)]

IMHO, if a tag is deletable, then they should all be, whether or not
they have associated tasks. For whatever reason a user wants a tag to
be removed, we clearly cannot force a specific policy about the fact
that only "empty" tags can be removed.

If there are associated tasks, I would ask the use to confirm this (at
least if it is not undoable).

This will probably be hard, but I think it should be done that way.

If it's too hard for 0.1, then I suggest that we don't implement tag
removal in 0.1, but we hide empty tags by default, and provide an
option (in view menu for instance, or with modal buttons, whatever...)
to switch between empty filtering enabled or not. That's a sane
default (we already discussed this in another bug, but I can't seem to
find it back)

I marked the bug as "Invalid" since you proposed tag removal instead of
hiding empty tag.

What we had discussed and that I find really interesting is, when will
have tag categories :

If a tag is in a category, always display it
For remaining tags, only display tags with at least one task.

For 0.1, you can look for bug marked as invalid and reopen it.

"Fixed" in release r171. Empty tags are not displayed anymore. This is incomplete, but a sane default. Later we'll have to decide how empty tags must be handled. This should be discussed when working on an improved tag list with groups and such.
