Unable to use dots in tags

[[BlockDog]]

It is really nice to use domain names as a tags. But GTG interprets dots as separators.

For example, if I try to add the tag @launchpad.net GTG creates the tag @launchpad and ".net" is missed...

Please exclude dots from separators list, or (even better) add an ability to add tags in quotes, for example: @"launchpad.net" so the whole phrase in quotes becomes a tag.

Thanx a lot!

gtg syncs with a number of other task tracking systems, and so we'd need to verify that '.' is acceptable in tag names for most other task trackers before including support for it here. I suspect it may not be permitted in some important ones, in which case we may have to mark this as a wontfix.

So the task for you... please examine RTM and a few other task trackers to see if they permit dots in tags. If so, mark this bug confirmed, otherwise I think we should wontfix this, so we don't introduce a change that makes syncing not work.

[BlockDog], any update on the progress of this todo?

RTM does accept dots in tags.

[Miroslav Šmida (miroslav-smida)]

Even GTG accepts tags starting with dot (partially). I synchronized my tasks with RTM where I use tags with dots. Then I found tags starting with one or more dots listed in Tags window. Tags with dot inside of the name (like @..__major_projects) are not listed there. Neither of them are highlited when I open the task - they are not recognized as tag in the body of the task.
