I’m using NextCloud to organize a document library. It’s organized with one folder per author. I also want to use collaborative tagging to assign topics to documents. This way I have one topic organization and one per author.
The problem is that tag assignment can only be done for one file. The tag assignment interface is quite difficult to access:
- click on open file details
- click on open submenu with three dots.
- Click on tags
- Click on each tag you want to assign
This flow is not feasible for hundreds or thousands of files. Ideally, I would be able to select multiple files and assign one or more tags to the entire selection, but that functionality doesn’t seem to be available.
I’ve also investigated the occ route, but there is no occ tag:assign command. These are the commands available for tags:
tag
tag:add
tag:delete
tag:edit
tag:list
Automatic tagging is also not possible due to the diversity of criteria for assigning a topic to a file. It does not depend on the name or any other condition available in the stream system.
I have seen that bulk tagging has been implemented, but this seems to refer to the possibility of assigning multiple tags to a file, not the possibility of assigning one tag to multiple files. Is this correct?
Is there any possibility to assign one or more tags to a group of files?
