Feature: Ability to create tags from the Tags section and from the context menu

[Marin-Kitagawa]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I want to have an option to create Tags from the Tags section (image below) and from the content menu. The context menu just provides the ability to assign tags. To create a tag, I have to go to settings, go to Tabs menu and then create a new tag. Why? Please make it simpler

Requirements

• Add option to tags context menu to "Edit tags"
• Clicking this option should open the tags page in settings

Files Version

2.4.66.0

Windows Version

Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22621.1555

Thank you for your feedback

Wow. That was really fast

@Marin-Kitagawa we still have to finalize the requirements on how this will be implemented but it's definitely on our radar.

[Marin-Kitagawa]

@yaira2 Sure. Looking forward to it ☺️

We should probably add this to the context menu in the sidebar

@hecksmosis Adding it in context menu and in the Tags section (above image) would be great instead of just in the context menu

Yes, I think doing both is a good idea, I was just saying that for the sidebar one we should add it in the context menu for the sidebar items. We could do a popup and reuse it in both cases, couldn't we @yaira2 ?

@hecksmosis I was hoping that we could open directly to the settings page to reduce duplicating the UI but we'll have to rework settings dialog before this is possible.
