How many characters are allowed in the tag list? - 42 views

    Hi again!

    It seems me the taglist would contain maximized character length. I got again
    tags: ...
    when i gave more tags which exceeded 256 characters.
    I didn't count exactly how many characters i'd typed which was yet accepted.
    It is very annoying to count how many charaters are enabled to add when one types going-along more keywords(tags). I spent almost one hour to correct my only bookmarks' tag while i had lost more times my highlightings ..etc. -brrrrrrr
    (I noticed too, when i make a mistake in typing, for example i add more than one separator space between the tags the same error occurs)

    I appreciate your answer asap, many thanks.

    I regard here again to my earlier post: max length for tags

    How many tags you normally add to your bookmarks? I think our limit is more than adequate.

    While tagging is very helpful, don't really see why people add excessive tagging?

    In this post, your original tags were:

    "bug,feature,feature idea,tag,tags"

    I have edited to only "feature, tag" - to keep it more consistent and easier for others to locate relevant posts.

    Hi Maggie!

    I understand the tags or tagging similarly as adding any keywords for example to any documents. ( I may fail about this concept..)

    I'm working on a theme which spans a very large scale of interested area..i 'm able not to decide exactly in advance how many characters would be required. ( Think of it as when you are about to plan mapping a large area of a scientifical information set its meta-science relations on many domain of sciences and else regards and trying to give reviewable information which come under common keywords. There would be many exceeded the only 256 characters foreseen at guess. )

    Naturally i adjust myself to the given possibility if it is maximized only 256 characters.

    But, i think ( from a programmers view), it would not be so much effort to replace a 256 limited text box to a larger sizeable text area input field. Although it certainly requires considerable much more space in the database containing the tags and much time for loading sorting.. etc. and some limitatation is really neccessary which is important for and is based on the server capacity. I guess it would be 1024.

    Using a drop down text area input field in the MyBookmarks view and also in the Tag Editing window would also help to choose the already added bookmarks. As i referred to in my another post earlier
    Re: Editing tags.

    I mention here, again: it would be also useful to separate the tags with much rather comma ( or semicolon..or else character) instead of space owing to if one makes a mistake or type two spaces the text continuity somehow breaks and ... appears in the taglist.

    Thanks, for revisioning.

    Hi Maggie!

    You are absolutely right. I was redundant. It really unneccessarily increases the space.

    I will be attentive to this in the future!

    Thanks for drawing to my attention!
