Ellipses in tags names breaks my tags

Question

The new tags sacreens don't show the ful tag any more!
This means I can't cut-n-paste the ful names but only the ellisped version.
This change breaks my tree of knowlge and tagging tool.
The names of the tags where not broken before the update and are broken now.
I want them fixed.
Yes I know "Its the lead sled dog that runs into the tree!" but in this case i have bloddied my nose, fractured my cheek bones and there is a tree shaped notch in the front of my skull.
I CAN USE MY TAGGING TOOL UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

Answer 1

An alternative that could meet OUR needs and make it easier on Lithium.
Lithium can leave the tag cloud screen alone and just give me a "Export tags and counts" button. Whn pressed it will let us specify the save path. The output file should be tab delimitted with a collumn for the tag and another collumn for the counts.
That change will reduce the fix work for Lithium.
I can mod my code to read from the file instead of from the cut-n-paste.
I don't know what to code looks like for the forums but adding a button to spit out a file that does NOT have to under go an astetics commity has to be easier than undoing the work that went into buggering up the tag names.
And before you ask...
While tagging I get a new set of tag exports (well I used too) possibly multiple times while doing the cross linking to enusre I can find the same info using multiple search paths, so it has to be an option that I can invoke while tagging.
So being the type I am I have to let you know about the next best version of the above.
For all of the tags that have a count above "1" there are mutliple URL's associated with that tag. If I could get the export file to list;
1) Tag
2) URL associated with the tag.
So if I looked at the spreadsheet export for the tag "LabVIEW" I would find it list 300 times in collumn 1 and the unique URLs in collumn 2.
This "enhancement" would let me move the Tagging tool to the next level where the tags can be explored via a spider-web not possible with my existing information.
SO;
Minimum required to fix the tagging tool
1) Full tag names
2) Tag counts
If I get that from the screen getting fixed or a file export, I can adapt.
Under the heading of "Never let an emergency go to waste"...
Let us export tags with URLs
Bonus for NI
1) If you give me the data, I'll enhace the code to use it.
2) Once enhanced the CPU required to explore the tag linkages will be on the user machine.
3) All of the substance organized under the tags are still NI content and gives users yet another way to get the most out of NIs web-site.
But for the time being...
Until the names are restored to their full text, the cross linking will be at best hit or miss and I am flying blind.
