[CONNECT] Bug: Attached tag not displayed in Properties dialog.

Hi,

if there is an element with a tag attached, an information about the tag is not displayed in Properties dialog (former Element Information dialog).

As an example, here is the dialolog with a selected line element with tag:

With regards,

  • Tags are easy to use, but  it comes to reporting they are a drag.

    Items are great in terms of reporting. But they are a drag for users to work with.

    And some issues I would like to be enhanced / corrected to make the use of CELLs with items possibly as easy as with tags.

    • A label included in a cell can not be moved around when the label needs to be on the other side)
    • Editing an item label should be easy and (as editing a tag) but you need to have the element info open at all times to edit the values (while you can just doulble click a tag with "element selection! opens the tag dialog)
    • When you have managed to label a cell (having a text favourite helps) and have achored the label at the time of placement you can move around the cell with the label nicely.
    • But if you dare to COPY that labeled cell the anchoring is lost. (and I do not know how to anchor a text again ?)
    • a anchored label does not copy with the cell you have to grab label and cell and then do your copy. The connection from copied cell to the label then is maintained but the 
    • If you move the label away from the cell 

    These are main points that hinder the use of items at my end. they are to clumsy to use still.

    As background info: We are still handling a lot of projects where symbology in 2D floor plans (documenting electrical installation) is the common way of working. We are normally only updating existing plans or creating plans accordingly.
    I guess a lot of customers are still doing a lot of "simple" drafting still (!?) 

    But I guess the points above would be of value for any user.

    For your convenience I add a e cell with one label text included in the cell and a label anchored beside. 

    Try moving around and try copying and then moving the copy....
