[TAGS] Tag selected amount starts at 0 instead of 1
Which could be justified (as in "0 elements in the elements selected were tagged with that particular tag before you clicked"), but it gets awkward as you can tag the same element for two different tag categories on two different session, which ends up as having only one element selected and yet having a tag with an amount of "1" and another an amount of "0".
Not saying this is a big, issue, it is just a bit troubling to count from 0 when you could count from 1 (in a non-JS context), plus in many UI/UX systems, putting an amount to 0 effectively means suppressing/removing the option/item.
Here is how I get there :
- Go to the TAG section of your corpus
- Go to the "tag filter" column on the left and tick the "Untagged" option of your tagging categories
- Now in the main column you'll see all the untagged WE of this category, which is quite logical because those are the WE that remain to be tagged for this category.
- BUT you might want to take the opportunity to fill in more tag. For example, let's say that you're filtering for category "TALKS ABOUT EUGENISM" (tags available being "YES / NO / TRITON"), but you also want to take this opportunity to fill in another tag category, for example "COUNTRY OF ORIGIN" (tags available being "FRANCE / GERMANY / ATLANTIS").
- So for the first WE in the list (or any WE in the list, really), you're going to tick it (in the main column) to select it, and enter a country name (for example ATLANTIS) in the COUNTRY OF ORIGIN field category. And it will display ATLANTIS 1.
- BUT THEN if you go to your other category, TALKS ABOUT EUGENISM, and enter TRITON (or more like enter TR and click on the autofill option that never fails to pop up but does fail to go away once selected), then it will display TRITON 0.
-> and that's how you get tags with a tag amount of 0.
Update : it also works the other way around. You can tag TRITON then ATLANTIS, you'll get TRITON 1 and ATLANTIS 0.
