Research direction

Start by locating the manage tag siblings/parents dialog and its Apply action in the Python desktop application. Read how the dialog currently handles Add and Apply, then verify that applying changes no longer requires the described confirmation while preserving the existing Cancel behavior.

Description

feature-request system:user-interface

Adding siblings (and parents) to tags in lists takes several steps:

  1. Right click tag in list, select add siblings...
  2. search for or add the new sibling tag
  3. select Add
  4. select Apply

This gets tedious if you're adding many of them.

Please consider making Apply do steps 3 and 4 immediately instead of displaying a confirmation prompt. (or a config option to change this behavior)

(in other applications, Cancel typically displays a confirmation dialog if you have unsaved changes while Apply/Save/OK have no confirmation. This may be a Windows UI thing, I'm not sure what the standards are in other OSes)
