This a feature I'm waiting for a long time, but it was never implemented to nepomuk. Now we have baloo and maybe the time for nested tags has finally come? E.g I have a tag "Dissertation". Now I want to create further tags under this tag, e.g. "papers" and "project". So there are three tags now: Dissertation Dissertation → Papers Dissertation → Projects With the possibility to arrange tags hierarchic it becomes much more clear. Otherwise you end up with a really huge amount of tage, which is hard to handle. Reproducible: Didn't try
I have no objections for such a feature. Here is what all would need to be done - 1. Decide how we want to represent nested tags. Currently tags are just represented as strings. They are stored exactly as shown to the user in the xattr of the file. Perhaps storing them as "ParentTag/ChildTag" is a good idea? 2. Change the TagEditDialog in baloo-widgets, to show a tree of tags. This tree can be made by splitting the tags from '/'. 3. Make sure tests are adding in the FileModifyJob to see that the tags are properly being stored in the search index. Overall, this shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. Any takers?
seems like no one had time to implement this. :(
Not implemented yet as of BalooWidgets-15.12.2.

I was going to request this feature but it seems it's already been implemented. Is it available on Windows? The only options I see for tags are to add/rename/delete tags, no options to set hierarchy/nesting. Thanks.
