configuration: how to hide certain tags? about astroid HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, agreed. I already hide the tags where the information is shown otherwise: https://github.com/gauteh/astroid/blob/master/src/modes/thread_index/thread_index_list_cell_renderer.hh#L23

from astroid.

A great related feature would be to allow to "rename" tag, as it is possible with alot.

Example:

[tags]
  [[signed]]
    translated = ''
  [[attachment]]
    translated = @

Yeah, I can see the use for that. The JSON config can at least handle this:

"astroid": {
  "tags": {
    "translate" : {
      "signed" : "",
      "encrypted" : "E",
    },
  },
},
...

They would have to be translated when:

• reading
• changing labels
• not on standard labels (although they should be configurable: sent,
  unread, etc - but note that most of these have special meaning to
  notmuch)

(note that attachment is already visualized with an icon). We could even
have more user-configured icons:

"astroid": {
  "tags": {
    "icons" : {
      "signed" : "/path/to/icon.svg",
      "encrypted" : "standard-gtk-icon",
    },
  },
},
...

from astroid.

That would be perfect!

Maybe a little over the top :-) I prefer things to be more simplistic but it also allows for really nice, personal, specific stuff (like if you use your MUA to receive tons of bugzilla tickets and manage them with tags, this could be a nice interface to bug tracking).
