#87 Customize tree display

[Doug Henderson]

When I add a book, I always ask for the Google tags. For a book (ISBN: 9780596805869) that I added recently, the tags included "Computers / Programming Languages / HTML" and "Computers / Programming Languages / XHTML".

I have been organizing them in the tag tree like this:
+ Computers
++ Computers / Programming Languages
+++ Computers / Programming Languages / HTML
+++ Computers / Programming Languages / XHMTL

This makes the tree display very wide, and not so easy to read due to the duplicate text. I would like to be able to organize the tree so it looks like:

• Computers
  ++ Programming Languages
  +++ HTML
  +++ XHMTL

however, I want the tag tree to internally retain the full original name. From what I understand of windows forms, the tree view supports two values at each node, one for the internal searchable text for the node, and another for the displayed name of the node.

I do not want to use the trailing component of the full tag name to identify a node in the tree, since that would cause tags like "Computers / General" and "History / General" to both get set when a book has a "Fiction / General" tag.

In the absence of this type of change, I believe we need a splitter on the tag list in the book tab to allow the tree view to be widened so that these long tags are easier to view.

I agree, this is definitely an inconvenience.
I'm trying to address this in the next version. Though the best solution hasn't reveled yet.

I will consider your solution as well.
