[DONE] Tags for app list

Could we have freeform text tags that we can attach to the app list and use in the search filter?

The new stars are great for my primary apps, but I need some nuance to my filtering. I find myself using long, underscore riddled and daft app names just to be able to find anything.

I’m thinking in the style of some kanban boards (can’t think of an example now …) whereby you can create and label tasks.

This would be great!

Hi @david.wylie & @nathanguyette ,

Thanks for raising this and bumping it. It’s on our list.

(As someone with hundreds of apps I completely agree that this would be great!)

Thanks,
Ryan

This is now (finally) added. You can now add tags to your apps from the app list!

Usability: Suggest that the pick list be placed where all of its items are visible and accessible:

In the above list, I have 8 or 9 existing tags, none of them visible due to the pick list being almost completely off-screen.

Edit: Given the layout, there will always be a sizeable amount of space above the tags button, and even more to the left of the list. So, plenty of usable options.

@p.colbert Thank you for flagging this! I’ve raised an issue internally.

Sorry, only just seen this … huzzah!

8 years (if you count the initial request for folders) - do I get a prize for the longest standing requests (that wasn’t just a one time fire and forget) ?

:smiley:
