Bug Description
There was a usability regression around version 1.1.5. At one time referencer had an additional pane on the left hand side that displayed all tags as checkboxes. This made it very easy to apply tags to one or more references with a single click. Now the only way to tag a reference is to right click on it and then select from a list of available tags. This has to be done each time a tag is applied and becomes tedious very quickly, especially when a reference needs to be tagged with several tags all at once.
The issue was originally reported by Henry Gomersall on the mailing list back in 2009. See the email here: http://
Attached is a screenshot from referencer version 1.1.0 which shows the feature in use. I pulled the screenshot from the referencer homepage. I am not clear on why this feature was removed in the first place.
I have noticed the same problem. I have thought about implementing a new document tagging dialog for quickly editing a document's tags. Would this seem reasonable to you?
