Deleting Image Tags
 

in photos app, i can add image tags. i can edit pictures using these tags. how in the world do i delete an image tag ??

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

Same way you add tags, select tags and un-check them. Save.

Did I miss something?

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

you are talking about editing an image tag. you can add and clear a tag but once you create a tag it appears in your image tags list. is there a way to delete it from the list.

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

i think if someone knows where these tags are stored? i hope u get my point.

i load an album, create a tag for that particular album or certain amount of pictures. say i name it *magic show*. now i go back and delete the album.

image tags list will still have *magic show*.

question is: how can i delete tags from image tags list?

Drat. The don't go away, do they?

Bug 1

Some of my older tags were nowhere to be found so i assumed they go away when no longer used. Only geotags do that, tags stick. So, switching sides here, anyone know how to clean them?

Maybe we're lucky and it's not a database or something.

Re: Deleting Image Tags

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

I want to add a geographic tag and that STAYS in the list, my country, Argentina i have to write it EVERYTIME i upload an image, because the tags made it short to Arge.
And when i upload a new photo to flickr, the tag is set to Arge, NOT Argentina. :-(
Also the tags i most use never stays in the tag list.
Someone knows where i can edit this tag list and geo tags ?
Thanks.

After much talk with Nokia people on Bugs it appears the inability to delete stuck tags is not a bug but a missing feature. WONTFIX.

They also ignored my repeated question about the recent and used tags location, so no clue on how to start fresh.

edit: sorry, missed it.

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

The tags are stored inside the file. This is much better than using a database.

On windows I use IrfanView to open the images: Press i to view the info. GPS information is stored in EXIF data. Tags (keywords) and comments are stored in the IPTC data.

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

The tags on the images are stored inside the files, yes, but the list of available tags isn't. See ndi's post for details on its location, and how to reset it (you could also use gconftool with --get to retrieve the current values, then --set to upload an edited list).

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

/apps doesnt exist in mine, are u sure abt this ?

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

Really? What's the output of "gconftool --all-dirs /" then?

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

got it, thanks. i shouldve tried the command. Now how come gconftool shows it but $ /apps doesnt exist. Can u explain for my understanding where is it stored? thanks in advance

brilliant from ndi, it resets image tags list. Doesnt necessarily answer but something is better than nothing

Re: Deleting Image Tags
 

gconftool isn't looking at the file system, it's reading/writing configuration data in an XML file (not entirely sure where the XML file lives though). The /apps/... path refers to the nesting of tags within the XML file.

If you want to edit the tags, you should be able to use "gconftool --get /apps/osso/image-viewer/recent_tags" to retrieve the current list, then put the modified version between the "[]" in the --set command. I've not tried this myself though, as I don't have any tags on my photos.
