Hi Eric,

when you say “build a tag-cloud”, what do you refer to? Do you want to be able to see how “big” a tag is, meaning how much content it has?

Please not that there is a tag tree inside Tabbles, showing all the existing tags.

You’re right to consider how tag scalability will affect usability over time. While <strong data-start=”187″ data-end=”198″>Tabbles is powerful for organizing and linking files via tags (tabbles), it doesn’t natively support a <strong data-start=”294″ data-end=”307″>tag cloud visualization like you might find on a forum or blog — at least not in the traditional, graphical sense with font sizing based on frequency.

Tabbles doesn’t have a native tag cloud view, but you can achieve this through two approaches:

Metadata Export: Use Tabbles’ “Write to metadata” feature to embed tags in files, then visualize them with third-party tools like TagExplorer or TagCrowd that read metadata
Hierarchical Management: Organize tags in Tabbles using nested categories (right-click > “Put in category”) and color coding to create visual hierarchy – the Map View (Ctrl+Shift+M) shows relationships but isn’t a traditional cloud format

In Tabbles, while there isn’t a built-in tag cloud feature, you can export your tags to metadata and then use another program, like a tag cloud generator or visualization tool, to create a tag cloud. This allows you to visualize your tags effectively. Alternatively, you can explore the Tabbles interface for different views, such as the “Tag Explorer,” which might help you manage and visualize your tags more efficiently.
