Tips and Tricks
keeping track
If you have lots of files to tag, it is almost guaranteed that you will lose track of which files
have been fully tagged, and which not, or which have say all of their
who tags but not all of their
where tags.
There is a built-in tag group called
Tagged, which can only hold the names of the other tag
groups.
I recommend that you use it, if at all, in the following (positive) way:
Assuming tag groups of say
who what where then when you haved applied all of say the
who tags
that you set the
Tagged group for that file to include the tag
who.
This will enable you to filter in/out the files that have all of their
who tags.
If you decide that no more tagging is needed for a file, then set the
Tagged group tag
Tagged.
Sorry, that sounds a bit weird, but it works.
Do not use it negatively i.e. to hold the names of unhandled tag groups. Why! Because newly added files
default to an empty
Tagged group!
finding the original folder of an exported file
If you want to find the original folder of an exported file, then
drag'n'drop the exported file on to the
reload button just above the lower right (blueish) panel.
That will cause the original folder to be opened in a file explorer.
Exported files are given unique names of the form:
- E
- database row identity
- _
- original file name & extension
