Absolutely love Bear and, in theory, I like that there’s an Archive where you can remove old notes you’ll rarely need from your regular searches.
But one issue: Tags become almost useless in the Archive.
Here’s my semi-frequent scenario. Let’s say I have project with a ton of notes under one tag (e.g. #Projects/New Floors#) that I’ve finished up and want to archive. I won’t need its notes much anymore and would love to get rid of the “New Floors” tag too so it’s not cluttering up my #Projects subtags. The problem is, if I send all the “New Floors” notes to Archive (and therefore disappear its tag) but 1 year later want to find some info from a note I can’t remember the name of but I knew was inside that tag, I can’t easily find the old tag or all its notes inside my Archive search. And even if I land on one old note in the Archive that has #Projects/New Floors# in it, clicking on that tag or searching “#Projects/New Floors#” inside the Archive won’t reveal anything the whole tag’s notes.
I don’t know the exact solution but would there be some way to preserve old tag structure inside the Archive? Maybe with an “Archive tag” option? Or maybe just allow a search or Quick-Open of a tag inside Archive to act like searching a tag in the rest of Bear? Or maybe clicking on a tag inside an Archive note brings up all Archive notes with the same tag?
Without anything like that, it feels like Archiving a tag and its notes is a little like trashing them.
Thanks so much
