Request: Implement right-click menu!

[ELLIOTTCABLE]

I see the TODOs in the source; so I thought I'd just throw a “hey, somebody out there is excited about this!” into the aether.

In particular, I understand how much work is involved in updating root-tags. One user provided a SQL statement that helps, but I'd love to see it integrated first-class:

This is a really great addon, but it misses some kind of batch edit function. I mean, you can't simply rename a root tag, you have to do it manually for every subtag. I found a way to solve this but I've done little testing (anyways, it works) so:

• back up your collection

• open the collection.anki2 file in a SQLite editor

• execute the following commands on the database (while anki is closed):

  UPDATE col SET tags = replace( tags, 'oldTag', 'newTag' ) WHERE tags LIKE '%oldTag%';
  UPDATE notes SET tags = replace( tags, 'oldTag', 'newTag' ) WHERE tags LIKE '%oldTag%';
  

  (replace oldTag and newTag with your tags)

!!!WARNINGS!!!

• little testing was done (backup!)
• every ' and % is important, do not delete
• not working with accent characters (because of character coding)
• it will replace evrything containing the oldTag (example: replacing "it" with "asd" also alters "italian" to "asdalian") (if you know what you are doing you can edit the regExp part to avoid this)
• I'm just a random comment guy, I don't take any responsibility, but hope it helps someone ;)
