This is my first attempt with typescript and Joplin plugins.

With the plugin it is possible to copy all tags a note has to other notes.

The JPL package is downloadable from the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/JackGruber/joplin-plugin-tagging/releases).

**Usage**

- Select multiple notes (The first marked note must be the one from which the tags are to be copied)
- Click on `Tools > Copy all Tags`

I have added a tagging list through which tags can be applied to all selected notes or deleted.

This is awesome, thank you!

As an extension - what do you think of following dialog appearing when you select multiple notes and press "Tagging list" button (akin to Evernote):

![](https://content.invisioncic.com/Mevernote/monthly_2018_07/image.png.3c6396b328f44c4a09c66cb6a442c119.png)  
 [source URL](https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/114964-keyboard-shortcut-for-tags/) (one of the pictures I could find with google "assign tag dialog"). "=Vorlage", "=Zeugnis" etc. are the tag names.

The main points are:

☑ means _all_ selected notes have this tag.

- Uncheck will remove tag from notes.
- Check will add tag to notes.

- Uncheck will remove tag from notes.
- Uncheck and Check will add tag to notes.

- Check will add tag to notes.

This is one of the Evernote features, I honestly miss for organizing/tagging multiple notes. I have thought to implement this myself, though you seem to have quite advanced with your plugin.

Tag adding is one of the functions I am implementing.  
But not as a list with all tags, but as it is in Joplin to enter the tags.

Hi there,

love your plugin. Removal of tags works fine. Only adding tags after a tag search does not.  
Plugin can find the tag, I can select it, but then I get an empty space besides the checkbox.

![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/9/952c22be33645046a7828d478c52be4a43ddb80b.png)

Using  
Joplin 2.1.7 (prod, win32)  
Revision: 04c4015c8  
Tagging plugin 1.0.1

Cheers,

Hi Jack,

no, the tag has no special characters or blanks (tag:today).

If I try to tag notes with "today" via your plugin, it does not work the first time. As described, the tag "today" is found when I search for it. I can select it, but then the tag does not show up beside the checkbox.

If I tag each not individually (without your plugin), then I can remove and add the tag again via your plugin.

Cheers,

CoarseGrater

Can you post a video?  
I have just tried it in various combinations and cannot replicate it at the moment.

Sorry JackGruber for late reply! I cannot post a video but with recent Joplin update, the problem seems to not appear anymore! Cheers, CoarseGrater

FUNCTION TO FILTER THE LIST OF NOTES BY TAG

Hi Jack,

I wonder if it's maybe possible to have, in the plugin Tagging, a function to filter the list of notes by tag.

Example:

- I search for all the notes with the tag "tags"  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/6/6484d56eec24b072c7539750de4d4e377c739cf6.png)
- I select them all with Ctrl+a
- and click on "Tagging dialog"  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/c/c95f550889c677bc8e9080d0da5ca69a81bda7fb.png)
- I see that some notes, in addition to the tag "tags", have also the tag "firefox" or "thunderbird" or "joplin".  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/c/c9a426fe5a579119f6ae2b8c3b7d9efd89b215a5.png)
- at this point I would like to be able, in some way, to select joplin and filter all the notes that have both the tag "tags" and the tag "joplin".
- at the moment I have to exit the tagging dialog and add tag:joplin to the search manually.  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/2X/2/25af6db7e23a8b5e2b62e60c48de42ed36b2388b.png)

Hi @Giacomo,

I see what you mean, but the tagging plugin is only for add / remove tags from the selected notes.  
I don't want to add another searchlogic to Joplin in the plugin.
