been using diigo for a long time - with many frustrations / so going to begin listing those, with bleak hope for some possible fixes or even just sympathy / many of my frustrations seem to be such obvious problems and weaknesses
another frustration - when i stop a research project in the middle i leave the one-click tag in place - not replacing it with my standard tag ('tosort')
then when i begin next session, next day, etc i do not know what is in one-click tag unless i look to test etc
what diigo SHOULD HAVE - tool tip for one-click save SHOULD SHOW current one-click tag
1 >>> i did a search on a particlar word/string in my bookmarks 137 hits
[just did it again, and now 142 hits, up from yesterday]
2 >>> selected all of those did a Revise Tags...
in practicality i had to choose 'Add' instead of 'Replace' tag [many are 'tosort' - which need to be replaced / but many others are also tagged correctly already]
3 >>> so having 137 items with my new tag (i'll use 'dtw' abbrev here now) i now (as i did yesterday initially) go to My Library i see My Items 4406 My Tags 274 Top Tags - dtw 141
4 >>> i select dtw tag and see My Items 98 --- 98 ???????? look at bottom - 1-98 of 98
uh gee, shouldn't there be 141 ? conclusion - diigo is ____________
so all my work is not very useful
5 >>> go to one of the items and select dtw from there instead from the sidelist same 98 - crap
6 >>> now want to delete the 'tosort' tags from those which are now dtw tagged see in Related Tags : 'tosort' 37 hit that get My Items 37
7 >>> no way to select these items for editing the tags except one by one SHOULD BE way to select and drop/replace a tag
8 >> tried Snapshot on the first of the 37 items that seems useless since it takes way too long to open/see
9 >>> tried Preview on the first of the 37 items that's a video, began to play when i hit Close tab it would not stop playing (audio still going) so it's taking resources that should be stopped
10 >>> now - magic suddenly there are now checkboxes beside the 37 items so that i can select them
what crap is this ? it's a different display, not date sorted now
and i see no way to change the view from this to what was or to 'choose' this view
11 >>> option to Revise Tags is "ALL TAGS" that's just plain stupid who would ever use that ?
it SHOULD ALLOW selecting of tags to delete
12 >>> i had hoped to be able to sort through my tagged items and be able to refine the tagging it seems totally a waste to try to do that
> Recommended Tags section SHOULD HAVE an optional Default Tag > which i can set up myself in options/settings > in which case i would set up "tosort" as my optional default tag > - since this does not have that, > the only option is to type in - > what a waste of time

when i stop a research project in the middle
i leave the one-click tag in place
- not replacing it with my standard tag ('tosort')
then when i begin next session, next day, etc
i do not know what is in one-click tag
unless i look to test etc
what diigo SHOULD HAVE -
tool tip for one-click save
SHOULD SHOW current one-click tag
or the Bookmark tooltip should show it
example -
1 >>> i did a search on a particlar word/string in my bookmarks
137 hits
[just did it again, and now 142 hits, up from yesterday]
2 >>> selected all of those
did a Revise Tags...
in practicality i had to choose 'Add' instead of 'Replace' tag
[many are 'tosort' - which need to be replaced /
but many others are also tagged correctly already]
3 >>> so having 137 items with my new tag
(i'll use 'dtw' abbrev here now)
i now (as i did yesterday initially) go to My Library
i see
My Items 4406
My Tags 274
Top Tags - dtw 141
4 >>> i select dtw tag
and see
My Items 98 --- 98 ????????
look at bottom - 1-98 of 98
uh gee, shouldn't there be 141 ?
conclusion - diigo is ____________
so all my work is not very useful
5 >>> go to one of the items and select dtw from there
instead from the sidelist
same 98 - crap
6 >>> now want to delete the 'tosort' tags from those which are now dtw tagged
see in Related Tags :
'tosort' 37
hit that
get My Items 37
7 >>> no way to select these items
for editing the tags
except one by one
SHOULD BE way to select and drop/replace a tag
8 >> tried Snapshot on the first of the 37 items
that seems useless since it takes way too long to open/see
9 >>> tried Preview on the first of the 37 items
that's a video, began to play
when i hit Close tab
it would not stop playing (audio still going)
so it's taking resources that should be stopped
10 >>> now - magic
suddenly there are now checkboxes beside the 37 items
so that i can select them
what crap is this ?
it's a different display,
not date sorted now
and i see no way to change the view from this
to what was or to 'choose' this view
11 >>> option to Revise Tags is "ALL TAGS"
that's just plain stupid
who would ever use that ?
it SHOULD ALLOW selecting of tags to delete
12 >>> i had hoped to be able to sort through my tagged items
and be able to refine the tagging
it seems totally a waste to try to do that

Another option: use a customised Post to Diigo.
Would you like help with that?
> i could use a one-key code /
> but that does not work for me
Please, what type of code is that? And how does it not work?
> type in - what a waste of time
Do the tags not auto-complete when you begin to type?
> the drop list of tags works only about half the time
Please offer:
a) the URL of a page at which the list does not work
b) the tags that you expect to be listed for that page
c) the tags that are not listed.

> many are 'tosort' - which need to be replaced / but

If you seek (for example) bookmarks that are
tagged unread AND NOT tagged tosort
you can use the word
NOT
e.g. http://www.diigo.com/user/michaelgdb/unread%20NOT%20tosort

> it SHOULD ALLOW selecting of tags to delete
Example: you want to delete the tag 'bread' from only some of the bookmarks that have that tag.
Workaround:
1. find bookmarks with the tag 'bread'
2. select the bookmarks that should retain that tag
3. add a random unique tag 'x5576'
4. select all bookmarks tagged 'bread'
5. in your tag cloud, delete the tag 'bread'
6. change x5576 to bread
