How to assign tags that contain ',' character(s)?

Open workflowsguy opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I would need to assign tags to files that contain the comma character, but I cannot find a way to do that. I tried escaping with '', but this does not work.

Currently, @workflowsguy, there is no way to do this. We don't support any escapes while parsing the tag list. Theoretically that could be done, but it's not at the moment.

@jdberry I habitually use the character # alone as a special "meta-tag", so this means I can't use tag to handle this? Is emoji or unicode handled? (i'm going to test when I find some time)

@haakonstorm as far as I know both # and various other special characters, like emojis, would work, though I can’t test right now. Comma doesn’t work because it’s used to separate multiple tags, and there’s no way to escape that usage to allow it to be used in a tag.
