Tags - Soloflighter1010/Hoard-Asset-Manager GitHub Wiki

Hoard has two kinds of tags:

• Your tags, which you create and put on items yourself.
• Suggested tags: words that turn up in several item names (FoxyHoodie v2 gives foxy and hoodie), with filler words and version numbers left out.

Tags work the same in the Library and in Downloads, and they share one set: tag something in one and it's tagged in the other. Filter by any tag from the sidebar; filters combine.

Tagging

• One item: open it, then type a tag under Tags, or click a suggestion to add it. Remove a tag with the × next to it. A tag you add applies to every copy of that product you own on other stores.
• Many items: choose them (tick their boxes, Ctrl- or Shift-click, or Select then click; or Select all shown after filtering, say by a creator), then Tags in the selection bar, or right-click: Add a tag or Remove a tag.

The Tags panel

The Tags button opens a list of all your tags and the suggestions:

• Keep a suggestion to make it your tag on every item whose name has that word, including items you buy later. Hide one to stop it being suggested.
• Rename a tag. Renaming it to an existing tag's name merges the two.
• Match names gives any tag that automatic matching, and Delete removes a tag.

What a tag can be

Lower case letters, marks and digits in any script (so Japanese works), plus spaces and - _ . + & ', up to 40 characters. Hoard cleans what you type to fit.

Where tags are kept

Your tags live in tags.json in Hoard's private app-data folder. The downloads folder also gets a tags.json, rebuilt after each download, listing which downloaded products have each tag, for other programs to read. See Where Hoard keeps things.

When suggestions appear (how many items a word needs, and how common is too common) can be tuned in config.json: see Settings.
