Description David Prieto 2007-05-04 06:49:33 UTC 
Taken from launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/112276

The new tagging capabilities of Tomboy could be more useful if you could rename tags or even delete them from the search menu. I'm thinking of something very similar to Epiphany's bookmark menu, where you can right-click a tag ("topics", I think Ephy calls them) to get a menu with both options.

In case you want to rename a tag and there already is another with the same name, you could get a dialog window asking you if you want to proceed and merge them.
Comment 1 Boyd Timothy 2007-05-04 13:18:06 UTC 
Good suggestion.  I'm still not sure if the tagging UI is the best, but whether it stays the same or changes, we ought to be able to rename tags for sure.
Comment 2 David Prieto 2007-05-04 13:31:03 UTC 
After I fiddled a bit with Tomoy's and Epiphany's menus, I thinks there are some more things that could be borrowed from Ephy's bookmarks menu. Selecting a number of notes and dragging them to a tag should add that tag to them, and there should be an easy way to remove a tag from multiple notes... maybe through the right-click menu?
Comment 3 Sandy Armstrong 2008-01-13 15:01:21 UTC 
Should be able to rename notebooks, too.

Boyd's comment from bug #519771:

Since we're in UI freeze, this one can't be taken care of until the next
development cycle.

An easy workaround is:

- Create a new notebook
- Highlight the old notebook and select all of its containing notes
- Drag and drop the notes from the old notebook to the new notebook
- Remove the old notebook

Comment 9 Sandy Armstrong 2009-08-10 21:46:45 UTC 
Fixed in git.  You can rename the Notebook right from the treeview.  Issues:

* First two "special" notebooks should not appear editable at all
* After renaming a notebook, it should be reselected (current code to do that is not working for whatever reason)
* F2 does not switch to edit mode

We can file these in a separate bug.
Comment 10 Michael Monreal 2009-08-10 22:01:30 UTC 
What about renaming *notes* from the search window?

Sure, that would be great, but please file a separate bug for that.
