v2.8.0 – Tags overhaul & sidebar improvements

This release brings a major upgrade to how tags are managed and displayed. The sidebar is now more powerful and customizable, tag editing has been redesigned for both desktop and mobile, and several long-standing UX rough edges have been smoothed out.

What's new

• Tag search & filtering – Quickly filter your tag list directly in the sidebar.
• Resizable sidebar – On desktop, drag to resize the sidebar to your preferred width.
• Nested tag item rollup – Optionally include items from child tags when viewing a parent tag.
• Sidebar item counts – See how many items belong to each tag at a glance (toggleable).
• Separate parent tag selector – When editing a tag, choose its parent from a dedicated picker instead of encoding it in the name.
• Tag descriptions – Add and view tag descriptions, shown in tooltips throughout the UI.

Updated

• Richer tag editing UX – Redesigned tag edit form on both desktop (popover) and mobile (drawer), with an improved combobox for tag selection in single-item edits and bulk actions.
• Cascading tag deletion – Deleting a tag with children now removes all nested tags automatically, no more manual cleanup required.
• Nested tags can be pinned – The restriction preventing nested tags from being pinned has been removed.

Fixed

• Resolved an issue where the bulk action toolbar's close button became unresponsive after performing an action.

Under the hood

• Refactored sidebar, tag, and form UI components to support the new editing and layout features.
