Adding subfolder tags will add parent tag as well
Let's say I have a tag #parent.sub contained as subfolder in #parent.
When I use the autocomplete component to assign the tag #parent.sub to my note it will also assign the tag #parent to my note.
I can see why some people would want to do that, but I personally always remove the added parent tag. I guess by adding parent tags someone would be able to find all notes in subfolders. This however gets messy when parent tags are accidentally removed from notes. I rather use Smart Tags to list all notes within a specific folder.
I suggest to change this behavior and not add parent tags when assigning a sub tag to a note.
If we don't do this, and you add subtag foo.bar, then when you select foo in the folders list, the note with foo.bar wouldn't be listed. Super confusing when you have this happen to you ;)
But what happens when someone accidentally deletes foo.bar after it has been added? In that case I won't be able to find that note when selecting foo. I find the current behavior very confusing. At least I would like to be able to disable it via configuration.
If you delete foo.bar, the note will still be in foo, since it was added to both.
Just adding onto this, I agree with you @mobitar , but right now it's a bit inconsistent, because if I'm in foo.bar and create a new note with the + button, it automatically only tags it with foo.bar, not both. I guess it's expected behavior for users that don't use Folders, though.
Yeah, true, folders functionality needs to be more ingrained within the core, non-extension experience. This will be a work in progress.
