option to hide groups in tag dropdown list
Having many many categories (let's say 100 or more) requires to group them.
Now, when you type the initial letters of the category in the tagger pane, a dropdown list appears: in case you have defined groups of tags, it suggests both the child tag and the full path tag (for example if you have define project\infrastructure, it suggests you both project and project/infrastructure).
Having many categories, in this way the dropdown list becomes very long (doubles the entry and more if the hierarchy has more levels), so a useful option would be to propose just the "leaf"/child tags.
One of the main benefits of bundling tags is for quick selection of multiple tags in the auto-complete list.
Of course if you don't want the parent tags showing in the auto-complete list, you can always not bundle your tags. I'm curious to know why you say having lots of tags 'requires' grouping (bundling) them? I mean, if you don't want bundling for quick entry of multiple tags with the auto-complete list, is it to simplify the management of tags, or something else? Thanks!

I like bundles since having tens and tens of tags, for tag maintenance bundles are almost necessary. My proposal was to have an option (disabled by default probably) to having suggested only leaves.

Thanks for the clarification Giuseppe. I do understand what you are asking for but that goes against the design principle for bundling. The idea is that if you start to type le for LEAF, then you can choose is you want to select only LEAF or with one click, select both tags, GROUP and LEAF. The bundling feature thus serves both as a reminder to put tags that makes sense to have together, and do it quickly.
My question is why do you want to use bundles then? If you don't use them, then you will get wh more

Hi, I try to be more clear with an example.
Let's imagine to have defined a bundle tag GROUP and a leaf tag LEAF below "GROUP". Now, when typing "L" in the tagger, I'd like that:
1) the autocomplete would suggest "GROUP/LEAF" only or "LEAF" only, while now it suggests both "LEAF" and "GROUP/LEAF" (twice the items).
2) in the case the autosuggest suggests only "GROUP/LEAF" (first case in previous point), to have an option to store just one tage "LEAF" and not 2 tags like now ("LEAF" and "GROUP"), again to ke more

Does it sound clearer (I admit it was not before)?
