[Demexp-dev] Proposal for a kind on hierarchy of tags

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

Etienne Chouard, on demexp-fr@, proposed[1] an interesting suggestion to
simplify the classification by introducing a kind a hierarchy /inside/
the tag /names/. This could be done as follow:

 - use a naming convention on tags so that they are put into a
   hierarchy, e.g. "1.1- Rennes";

 - on the client side, do pattern matching on tags name to put them in a
   TreeView:

   + 1. ...
   |
   +--1.1 Rennes


In need to look at Lablgtk2's Tree View API to look if this can be done
but it might help a lot in the short term. What do you think of it?

For easier processing, instead of using usual naming, e.g. "1.2-", we
could use a very simple scheme based on ASCII letters: "AB-".

Best wishes,
d.
