I was about to open a ticket for the same reason. It is easy to add tags to papers but then once you add a tag to 50 papers, it is really hard to delete them all. You have to do it one by one.
Same to me. I have over 1,000 papers tagged with older categories. It would be at least helpful if the tags can be deleted from multiple papers in a single click.
Implemented:
By clicking the gear icon to the right of a tag, you can rename and delete a tag. Either option will automatically update existing tags on all associated documents in your library.
In Progress:
We don't currently support clearing all tags from a particular paper in one shot, but we have it on the roadmap.
This is essential. Tag implementation could be significantly improved throughout.
Just started with Papers, and already need this!!!
