Tagging in FeedDemon: What Would You Like to See?.

I’ve been adding support for tagging to FeedDemon, and I wanted to pass the new features by FeedDemon customers to see if I’m missing anything.

The way it works so far is that FeedDemon’s “Subscriptions Home” report now includes a list of tags you’ve used, as shown in the screenshot below (click to enlarge):

Clicking one of these tags displays a newspaper showing all posts you’ve added that tag to (click to enlarge):

As you can see from the above screenshot, the newspaper now shows each post’s tags, and clicking one of these tags shows all posts which have that tag.  Tagging a post is as simple as clicking the new “Edit Tags” icon and then entering a list of tags, or selecting from tags you’ve already used:

You can also manage your tags in bulk, renaming or deleting them across all posts:

Tags added to posts in synchronized feeds are passed to NewsGator in the background, so any tags you add in FeedDemon will be available in NewsGator Online or any other application which syncs with NewsGator and supports tagging.

So, that covers the basics of where FeedDemon’s tagging support currently stands.  Beyond these features, is there anything important I’m missing?  What tagging features would you like to see?

FeedDemon Tagging Update.

Thanks to the great feedback on my previous post, I’ve made a couple of updates to FeedDemon’s upcoming tagging support.

First off, I’ve added tags to FeedDemon’s subscription tree, as shown in this screenshot (click to enlarge):

Selecting a tag in the tree displays a newspaper containing all posts with that tag.

I’ve also added “suggested tags” to the tag editor, which attempts to recommend tags for the selected post:

 

I’ll be fine-tuning the tagging features even more before this version is released, of course, but I plan to keep it simple.  I know there’s a lot of tagging-related stuff I could add, but complexity is something I hope to avoid :)
