Tag Refactoring Tool
under review
A
Alper Ortac
I have a bookmark collection which i built up for several years know. Today i'd chosen different tags here and there and i'd like to tidy up my collection. I imagine a tool which can do:
- Define criteria: contains tag, does not contain tag, is (not) in collection, ...
- Define actions: rename tag, add tag, remove tag, ...
The tool walks through all my collections and applies the actions to all bookmarks that match the criteria.
Example:
- Criteria: contains tag "machine" and contains tag "learning"
- Actions: remove tag "machine" and remove tag "learning" and add tag "machine learning"
Or:
- Criteria: contains tag "photo" and is in collection "arts"
- Actions: rename tag "photo" to "photography"
This is basically an extended feature request of "Merge Tags" because that would be possible too with this approach.

Search & Edit the Tags

I have more than 500+ Tags, many of duplicate as well, request to have a simpler way to "find" & "edit" the Tags to keep the data clean.
Previously it was available via browser, but now the Search does find, but I have manually select the TAG to edit or merge.

In AI suggestions, there are rename tags suggestions, but is so plastered. Give the user tools to create
custom actions
like rename tags, unify tags, create patterns to automatically put tags in new links (for example, if the title contains the word Obsidian, put automatically the tags #obsidian and #notetaking and move to the obsidian folderRodrigo Araújo
Another example, I would like to create a custom action that when I mark a bookmark with the #fedora tag, automatically was added the #linux and #linux/distro tags. And this
custom action
would applied when I tagged a bookmart and recursivelly in all previous bookmarked with #fedoran

Linked request specifically on selective tag removal from a list: https://raindropio.canny.io/feature-requests/p/bulk-remove-individual-tags-from-a-selection-of-bookmarks

I would 100% pay more to have this feature, especially if there were added tools to make bulk tagging and sorting faster and easier. My primary reason for moving to Raindrop is that I want to start building a consistent, sustainable system for finding my stuff, and I knew Raindrop's visual previews would make it much easier to sort through all the unprocessed or partially-processed content, links for old projects or shopping tasks, and just plain garbage. Still, there's just so much content to handle, and it's all tied to folders, tags, and other metadata that may no longer be relevant. Pre-sorting with a tool like this would make the project less overwhelming and enable me to get back to using Raindrop's other awesome features rather than sifting through the mess.

I have almost 9k tags (migrated from Diigo), and that web based Raindrop tags manager page is terribly slow and not functional (I am shocked it has no filtering for tags). From what I can see, this page is implemented in damn slow React (it is not the best choice for rendering longer lists.
Replace it with (much, much more performant) htmx, or at least add a tag filter on that page, please.

Tag management screen is available in our old app: https://extension.raindrop.io/#/app/tags

Rustem Mussabekov: Can we expect that to be around for good? Can we get a supported feature linked from the main ui for peace of mind?

Rustem Mussabekov: thanks for sharing this
I have 5218 tags and that page is dead slow when interacting with it :(

Rustem Mussabekov: I'm getting errors when trying to delete 1000+ tags (which were created by an import from mymind)
Daniel Wentsch
Rustem Mussabekov: And after cumbersomely deleting batches of hundreds the API starts rejecting me, not showing me any tags at all anymore:
GET https://api.raindrop.io/v1/tags 429 (Too Many Requests)

Couldn't agree more ... I have over 1500 tags now (from an import of an import that originated with Delicious). It would be GREAT to be able to search for tags, as I don't use anything hierarchical (like collections).

This is such an important feature for me.
I have as of today 1676 tags. I need to tidy them up a bit (e.g., right now I want to search for tags with spaces in them so I can rename them to have a hyphen instead), but this is insanely hard with such a long list... which means I end up giving up trying to tidy them and the list gets longer and more unmanageable.
Normally when a website lacks search we can fall back on using the browser's built-in page search, but this doesn't work either because only some of the tags tags are loaded into the DOM at one time, so I have to scroll no matter what.
I'm a very happy Raindrop.io customer, and this missing feature is the only real problem I have with it.

It would be great to get a warning when adding a new tag that is a duplicate. I was surprised that this is possible.

Since this topic is under review, I just want to point to the Tag-Clusters request where I briefly describe how a robust "Tag Management Tool" could solve multiple feature requests including the hierarchical tags request simultaneously.
