Tags give incorrect totals
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:10 am
Please see the attached screenshot.
How does this happen:
1) Add e tag (and subtag) to a number of notes (e.g. "Project/Questions/Not_Asked")
2) Select some or all the notes with this tag, right click, select Tag...
3) In the Add tags box, add a suitable subtag with the same chain of upper level tags (e.g. "Project/Questions/Asked")
4) In the Remove tags box, Indicate the original tag ("Project/Questions/Not_Asked").
The net effect should be that the notes that were tagged "Project/Questions/Not_Asked" are now tagged "Project/Questions/Asked". And they are, indeed now tagged this way.
However, the counts on the tag sidebar now are all wrong: "All" gives the correct total, but "Project" now gives a total without the total for "Project/Questions/Asked", and "Questions" does not include in the total the ...Questions/Asked.
This is a serious bug that impact the usability and reliability of tagging in CN. If I remember correctly, it happened in previous versions, but I believe it had been corrected. Now it is back.
