ok. Fine for me.

Excelent ! This is exactly what's i need.

Note : i plan also to create a new dialog to edit tags hierarchy and
properties, something like Firefox bookmark edit dialog.

ok

Ok. and me, i plan to patch Captions & Tags view from right sidebar bar to
support Color tags.

I vote to show color tags as rating edit tool, as an horizontal widget in this
sidebar tab.

There are also other views to patch :

- All contextual menu.
- Tags filter view on right side.
- Tags view on left side. For this one, perhaps it's better to add a new view
dedicated to show all items by rating (there is en entry in bugzilla about,
it's a missing feature) or by color tags. I don't know yet.
