Tag editor
You can use Tag editor for all sorts of tag operations - rename, change color, delete, change ordering...
To open Tag editor, click on down arrow on the left side of Tag timeline and choose Tag editor.
There are four tabs:
- Tag combinations
- Tags
- Tag shortcuts
- Tag sources
Tag combinations
In ManicTime, tags are separated with comma, for example:
- Project 1, Testing
- Project 1, Design
- Project 2, Design
- Project 2, Testing
In above example tag combinations are:
- Project 1, Testing
- Project 1, Design
- Project 2, Design
- Project 2, Testing
while tags are
- Project 1
- Project 2
- Design
- Testing
To illustrate the difference between renaming tag combinations and tags lets consider this.
Lets say we want to rename Project 1 to Project Alpha. Since Project 1 is used in two tag combinations, it is best if we rename it on Tags tab. So just renaming Project 1 to Project Alpha all tag combinations which use Project 1, will be renamed to Project Alpha:
- Project Alpha, Testing
- Project Alpha, Design
But if we want to change 'Project Alpha, Testing' to 'Project Alpha, UI testing' and leave 'Project 2, Testing' intact, we need to rename it on Tag combinations tab.
Multi rename with replace
With Replace you can rename multiple tag combinations at once. To do this:
Select tag combinations (hold down Shift or Ctrl and click items to select more than one)
Click Replace
In Find type the text you want to replace, in Replace with text you want to replace it with.
In the list below you will see what it will look like after you press Ok.
