I had a challenging week with little work time, but I polished last week's related tags work.

related tags

I've improved the 'related tags' test I did last week and brushed up the UI, and I'm happy enough with it that I am making it default-on for all users. You will see it after you update in your manage tags dialogs. If you do not like it, you can turn it off or customise its timings under options->tag suggestions!

For the technical details, I've cleaned up the new algorithm a bit, made it run faster in all cases and massively faster for very large-count tags, and now it works on the same 'cancel after 1,200ms' tech the old buttons ran on. Those buttons now use the new algorithm exclusively, there's a new label that reports how particular searches went. There's also a 'my files' vs 'all known files' on/off button to change the search domain ('new 1' vs 'new 2' in the test last week).

Also, if your suggested tags are set to show 'side-by-side', they now get nicer boxes around them, and if they are set to show in a notebook, you can set which is the default page under options->tag suggestions. Let me know how you get on with it!

next week

Unfortunately some stressful IRL landed on my head this week, and I'll have some extra responsibilities for the next 6-8 weeks. Nothing dreadful, but it will cut into my work time a bit. Please expect some more light and possibly skipped releases for the next bit, thanks!

Next week I'll see if I can just do some simple code cleaning and more small jobs.
