On web it’s possible to right click on a tag for the settings:
Can this be add on the app too?
(With a longer press instead of right click for exemple or whatever if it’s simpler)
Then in this pop-up:
Is it possible to add an option to rename the tag (in both web an app)?
I re-up this “old” one and after re-read it it may not be clear.
The purpose was to be able to rename a tag.
On the web there’s a pop-pup “tag settings” that don’t allow to do it, so I suggested to add the rename option in it, and to add “Tag settings” + rename option on the apps too.
Up
I’m juggling with tags to create a library of visuals, can it be possible to rename tags in a close future?
Rename a saved story tag or rename a tag that an author adds to their stories?
Rename a tag that I created of course, I suppose only the author can modify their tags, no?
I mean, once the story comes into NewsBlur, we can do anything we want with it. But yeah, renaming saved story tags should definitely be supported. I’ll see if I can build that today.

## Summary
- Adds Tag Settings modal accessible via right-click menu on starred… tags in the sidebar
- Users can rename tags with automatic merging if the target tag already exists
- Users can delete tags (removes tag from all stories while keeping stories saved)
- Adds Copy buttons to folder RSS feed URLs in Folder Settings modal to match Tag Settings styling

## Test plan
- [ ] Right-click a starred tag in the sidebar and select "Tag settings"
- [ ] Test renaming a tag to a new name - verify all stories update
- [ ] Test renaming a tag to an existing tag name - verify tags merge correctly
- [ ] Test deleting a tag - verify tag is removed but stories remain saved
- [ ] Test the Copy buttons on folder RSS feed URLs in Folder Settings modal
- [ ] Run tests: `make test SCOPE=apps.reader`

Are the recent web changes (user selected feed icons, key words in articles) coming to mobile phones? Thanks.
Yes it works!
Thanks!
(and +1 to add this on mobile ^^)
Very soon, just battling some rendering issues on story layout on iOS.
