This addon's the best, I love the Hierarchical Tags and use them for pretty much every card, but is there any way we could get Colorful Tags support on older versions? I use Anki 2.1.35 because of an old addon I need and wish I could color my tags without sacrificing the other addon 🙏

Thank youu!!

Love the addon but how do you avoid this issue?

https://i.imgur.com/RKzCK05.png

I order my subjects by numbers. So when it reaches 10. [insert title] then it messes up the order, where "10." is apparently higher than 1-9 but it should be lower because it has the highest values. The screenshot will demonstrate what I mean. So I have to work around this, making it less appealing to look at.
Comment from author
Hi! This can be a bit confusing because Anki uses alphabetical sorting rather than numerical sorting (so if something starts with a 1, it's always sorted ahead of something starting with a 2, even if it's a 10 in the first case and 2 in the second). The solution I've seen people use is to prepend the number with zeros. So if you have <100 items in total that you want to sort, you would name them 01, 02, 03, .., 10, etc. If you go above 100, you simply add another 0, i.e. 001, 002, etc.
That way the order is preserved between the items, even as you add new ones.

A really useful, good working tool.

Great!

Please disable this as this feature is now redundant, it is now built into Anki's newest version 2.41
on 1642252927
Works on Anki 2.1.15
Specifically on Ubuntu from ubuntu-hirsute-universe repository

Thanks!

This plugin is now REDUNDANT as the feature is built into Anki. For example with Version ⁨2.1.48 (fb07bad3)⁩
on 1633186942
works
on 1628177472
So, right now, with versions above 2.1.41, this great addon is redundant?
on 1621953511
Incredibly helpful for organizing my decks, while keeping all relevant content together. Also helpful for reviewing with a custom study session.
on 1621574787
I like the add-on but changing the separator in the config does not change the separator, it appears the double colon overrides the config.

Otherwise, it works well!
on 1617286531
Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on

とても便利!!!

One of those addons that I view as so essential to Anki that I forget its an addon.

does work

Not working on 2.1.35v.

It makes structuring the questions by chapters and subchapters incredibly much easier, which is a really valuable feature to me.

FEATURE REQUESTS: Hierarchical 'drop-down' 'color' tags

Problem: browsing through a bunch of hierarchical tags while adding new tags to new cards is teddious and boring

Solutions (?)
-addon lets you add colors to tag fonts or backgrounds and different colors to it's hierarchies as well
-addon also lets you color tags through the browse and/or add windows
-Ability to collapse/Enlarge and color hierarchies in the Tag field of the "add" and "browse" windows

EDIT: Nevermind, checking Glutanimate Twitter i found Colors for tags are available in the "BetterTags" addon, still i would like to collapse/expand hierarchical tags during the "add" window.
on 1605208644
5/5 works great
on 1604789418
For some reason, even after downloading the add-on and enabling it and restarting my Anki, I am not able to see the drop down menu for hierarchical tags for the lolnotacop deck.

update: it works now, not sure what the issue was.
on 1603815059
no
on 1603587549
this add-on is awesome. thanks so much!
on 1603086329
Nice add-on. What would be also nice addition to it is drag-and-drop function in browser: automatically editing tags, by removing tag prefixes of old location (if there was one) and adding tag prefixes of new location (if it's inside different tag). And also would be nice to have functionality to clear duplicate tags: for example if note have tags 'topic::subtopic' and 'topic', tag 'topic' can be removed automatically at user request.
on 1602254799
Very useful should come up as a default in Anki.
on 1602087199
I don't know what was wrong at first - I couldn't make the add-on work (disable, then enabled the add-on, went through the browser etc.), but now it works as it should. Very convenient to have it.
Comment from author before post was edited
Hi there. Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Hierarchical Tags. The add-on should definitely work with tags like that. Are you sure the add-on is installed and not disabled? (you can check under Tools → Add-ons). Also, are you sure you're looking at the tag list (Click on "Browse" → left sidebar thingy), and not the deck list? These are the two most common points of confusion for users.
If that doesn't help, please feel free to shoot me an email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot this.

A great add-on for people who are hyper-organized!
on 1601468522
My browser sidebar went from two whole pages worth of tags down to three tags when fully collapsed.
I love that, but I have a question: How can I show my tags on my cards with an addon like this? The tag names are too long to show with {{Tags}} now. I think that showing the last part of the tag (the part after the last set of ::) would work, but I don't know how to make something like that show up on my card. I think JavaScript might work but I have no clue how to do something like that.
on 1601380355
So helpful!!!
on 1601265092
Thank you! An essential add-on to manage tags easier
on 1601250915
Absolutely essential add-on!
on 1600149150
It's great.

Is there anyway to disable the capitalization changing the tags though? I hate how if I forget to capitalize something, the tags are perceived as different tags and I have no idea how to change it back...
on 1598652978
Enhances the use of Tags !!
on 1597556529
works good for me
on 1596813726
vary good
but in Windows will not appear at first like Mac version
solution: open Browse then click on Filter check the box of the Sidebar.
on 1596443249
thanks
on 1596389738
Thank you!!! it worked for me on 2.1.26!!
on 1595978729
Works well. Thanks!
on 1595607884
thank you for this!
on 1595457551
Can somebody please tell me how to get it to work on Anki 2.1.28 or 2.1.26 for windows? It's enabled but not working for me
Comment from author
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that Hierarchical Tags is not working for you. It *should* work on 2.1.26 and 2.1.28 on Windows, but of course it's possible that there is some kind of bug at play or some other issue interfering with things. Would you mind shooting me a quick email at ankiglutanimate@gmail.com? That way I can take a closer look and help you. I'm sure we can figure this out.
on 1595286263
Great add-on. However, it is NOT WORKING on version 2.1.26 (even after attempting to "manually enable it")
on 1594737612
Tks!
on 1594384057
Tested on 2.1.19 works a treat. The only reason I have it is to keep my sidebar looking neat so I'm not the biggest power user but for my purposes the add-on has 0 flaws.
on 1592566250
Awesome for organizing
on 1592261743
update to tags for new anki versions
on 1591987775
Glutaminate makes the best addons that work well together. Awesome.
on 1591355185
Thank you!
on 1590920100
really helped me clean up my tags. it would be easier to use if you were able to rename tags instead of adding a new tag and deleting the old one, but that would probably be it's own add-on. it's also a little funny how a note can have, say, Parent and Parent::Child as separate tags. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug

Edit: Of course you have made a tag-renaming add-on, too. Sorry, didn't see that!
Comment from author
No worries at all! Add-on discoverability does need some work for sure :)

I'm not sure if you've stumbled on it yet, but besides "Search and Replace Tags", there's also "BetterTags" for even more powerful tag management features (though it's limited to my Patreon for now): https://www.patreon.com/posts/bettertags-v1-0-33338657 . Thought I'd mention it in case you need more tools to tweak your tags!
on 1590235270
Very Useful
on 1590069839
The add-on in is fine, but it does *not* work with 2.1.26 yet? Please advise. I can't seem to figure out how to revert back to an older version, so I am hoping there is a way to make the add-on compatible...
Comment from author
Hi there, the add-on should work under 2.1.26. Could you check if it's listed as active under Tools → Add-ons? There was an issue recently were an improperly set conflict key in an earlier version of the add-on would disable the add-on upon updating. So maybe we're seeing the results of that here.
on 1589758648
Solution to nesting tags after 2.1.23 update. Thank you glutaminate!!!
on 1589618964
Who would want to work without it ?
on 1589482398
reliable as always, I saw that the Addon was disabled, clicked on "go to addon page" and you already had the explanation ready. thanks and cheers!
on 1588394573
awesome!
on 1587666639
Thank you so much! I've downloaded so many of your add-ons. They are so helpful. You're the man sir!
on 1587059740
Just great!
on 1586910286
The most recent update disabled the add-on on my MacBook.

Update: 04/13/2020
Glutanimate contacted me and helped me correct the issue. It was a very easy fix (one button) and it is working perfectly now. I love the add-on and it makes finding specific tags much easier.
Comment from author before post was edited
Hi there! Add-ons can supply a list of other add-ons they are incompatible with. In case of Hierarchical Tags 2, that's other older hierarchical tags add-ons like "Hierarchical Tags Addon (2.0 => 2.1)" or "Echelon". However, this works both ways, so if another add-on has "Hierarchical Tags 2" in its incompatibility list, then "Hierarchical Tags 2" will be disabled. Anki revisits this list of incompatibilities any time an add-on is newly installed or updated. So if "Hierarchical Tags 2" was disabled, this likely happened due to another add-on now having listed "Hierarchical Tags 2" as incompatible.

But to know for sure what's going on, I'll need more information on your Anki configuration. Right now I'm working completely in the blind (like trying to diagnose a patient with no case history, clinical findings, or lab report - a nightmare, right?). So my kind request here would be for you to use one of the contact links listed in the "Help and Support" section above to get in touch with me, so that I can take a closer look. Easiest would be an email to ankiglutanimate@gmail.com or issue report on the GitHub bug tracker (preferred, but requires more effort on your part). Otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help. Thanks!
on 1586853275
If the newest update messes up your tags, you have to go to add ons and reactivate Hierarchical Tags 2, restart anki, and the problem will be solved.
on 1586671885
One quick bug:
Changing the separator in the config does not change it when you click a tag in the tag hierarchy. The double colon seems to be hard-coded in.

For example, if I have a tag separator of underscore, and a tag named spanish_nouns, clicking on the tag "spanish" searches for tag:spanish::*, not tag:spanish_* (and by consequence shows no results)

edit: Thank a lot author! Fantastic addon
