Tag sidebar: when both parent and child tags are selected, the parent should stay selected when the child is deselected
Hi
I also reported this in the forum:
http://www.cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1458&p=6006#p6006
If I select the tags using AND:
"work" AND "open" AND "open/important"
and after that I deselect "open/important"
-> also the selection for "open" gets removed.
On the other side - when I deselect "open"
-> only "open" get's deselected (and "open/important" stays selected).
I would expect the exact opposite behavior!?
If I deselect a parent -> all its children should be deselected
(if a task is no longer "open" it is also no longer "open/important").
If I deselect a child -> the parent should stay selected (if it was selected before).
Answer
Thanks Chris. I confirm this behavior, but I'm not sure its a bug.
The selection reflects only explicitly selected tags. The implicit selection is not visualized.
I think the behavior should be symmetric: Note that when you select 'open', 'open/important' is not selected. Then why should 'open/important' be deselected when you deselect 'open'?
You are referring to the visual effect and I understand your argument and agree. This would be simpler to understand for most of the users.
I had the logical selection in mind - but you are right ;-)
So only this is a bug:
If I deselect a child -> the parent should stay selected (if it was selected before).
