Feature: Warn the user about invalid tag name

[QuaintMako]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When entering a name for a tag, some names makes the creation impossible. However, no information is displayed as to why the name is invalid.

The information should be given to the user and so should the reasons too.

Requirements

• When the name used in the tag box in invalid, write a text underneath the text box to warn the user of the issue.

What about a text block? I think this is a little less "scary" but still gets the point across.

[yaira2]

There is already an IsNameValid property, we can use a converter to invert the value and show the textblock when it's false.

what makes a tag name invalid?

[yaira2]

If it's a duplicate of another tag name or if the name is blank.

[meilluer]

using namespace std;

int main() {
string name;

Console.WriteLine("Enter Tag name:");

getline(Console.ReadLine(), name);

if (name.empty()||name.find_first_not_of(' ') == string::npos) {
   Console.WriteLine( "NOT a valid name: tag name either empty or all spaces") ;
}

else if(name="Home","Work","important","photos"){
    Console.WriteLine("NOT a valid name: tag name alrady exist");
}

return 0;

}

this is what i came up with thus far i am having difficulty in incorporating this into program also i want to import all the stored tag names to check if they exist in in else if condition
