Feature request: Nested Labels

[delafthi]

I'm a big fan of the nested tag system in Bear, which allows structuring in a tagging or labeling system. What do you think, about implementing such a system in Omnivore?

Similar to bear, an article labeled with foo/bar/baz would be contained within the labels foo, foo/bar, and foo/bar/baz. Accordingly, it would make sense to make the labels section (in the left pane) hierarchical. For example:

- otherLabelWithNestedLabels <
- foo v
  - bar v
    - baz
  - nestedLabel
- otherLabel

Hey @delafthi , thanks for the suggestion. We have this feature in the backend now so you can tag your items with nested labels like foo or foo/bar or foo/bar/baz; And wildcard searching for label:foo* will return items with label foo or foo/bar or foo/bar/baz; And wildcard searching for label:foo/* will return items with label foo/bar and foo/bar/baz; and so on.

We will be working on the UI for the display of labels in hierarchy.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the UI changes as well.

Very much looking forward to seeing the nested tag feature coming, currently I am implementing PARA using nested tags in obsidian and rely heavily on being able to use nested tags in omnivore in order to preprocess information in omnivore
