Archiving and exporting lists and tags

smokegrey says:
Hi there.

I'm using RTM on multiple Windows and Mac computers, and also on my iPhone and iPod touch. What I want to know is:

1. Will there ever be an option to archive tags, similar to how we archive lists? Like the user in this post (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/8265/) I've changed jobs. I would like to have access to my old lists/tasks/tags, but I no longer want them showing up when I create a new task.

I've already archived the lists, but now I have some nearly 20 tags that I am not likely ever to use again, and which are slowing me down when adding a new task. I know I can use Greasemonkey to hide the old tags, but I don't want to have to do that on every single one of the 4 computers I regularly use, and it won't work on my iPhone. Any ideas?

2. When you export a list, are the tags exported along with them? Is there any way to get this exported list back into RTM, tags and all?

Thanks!

Bump for archiving tags. For people who like to keep their # of lists low and # of tags high, its definitely a preferred feature.

Hi smokegrey,
It's not currently possible to archive lists or tags.

As you mentioned, you can backup your tasks via iCalendar; that data retains the tags. You can import tasks via email, which would be the best way to get tasks back in that you've deleted.

Hope this helps!
