I tested the new text edit field. It works nicely, thanks Gilles.

Except this :

if you type tag1, tag2 it creates a tag2 with a space in front, I think the space should be ignored.

Concerning the syntax for multiple tags entry there are several options :

#1 : Use ',' as a separator, assuming ',' is forbidden in tags. I think the spaces after each ',' should be ignored.

Example:
tag1, the tag2 

produces "tag1" and "the tag2"

#2 : Use ' ' as a separator, assuming that if the user wants a space inside a tag, he puts the tag between quotes.

Example:
tag1 "the tag2"

produces "tag1" and "the tag2"


Arguments:

#1 one does not have to know about the quote trick
#2 one does not have to know about the ','

Flickr use #2.



Concerning where the tags are created in the tag tree:

Currently the tags are created as a child of current selection.
This means that if you type tag1 enter then tag2 enter you get tag2 as a child of tag1.

I am not sure that this behaviour should be kept.

There are several possibilities :

#t1 Create tag as a child of current selection, newly created tag gets the selection. (Currently implemented).

This means that if you type tag1 enter then tag2 enter you get tag2 as a child of tag1.

#t2 Create tag as a child of current selection, assign the tag but do not change the selection

Example: if you type tag1 enter and tag2 enter, it creates two tags as child of the current selection.

#t3 Create tag as a child of root by default. If one wants to create a tag in a subtree he has to use the "/tag1/tag2/tag3" syntax. We could also invent a syntax to mean current selection, for instance  /tag1 would create a child of current selection.

Example: if you type tag1 enter and tag2 enter, it creates two tags at the root level.


#t3 seems to be a good option because it is easy to grasp for first time users. 
Tags are created at root level, if one want to organize them in the hierarchy one can use the mouse.

#t2 is easier to use for doing complex thing

Best,

Julien
