Applying a tag to a media file
You tag media by dragging a tag from the tag tree to a media file in the Search Results pane (or by dragging a media file to a tag) when
the Add Tag Mode button ( ) is selected.
1.
Select media files to tag in the Search Results pane:
• To select a single file, click the file.
—or—
• To select multiple consecutive files, click the first file, hold the Shift key, and then click the last item.
—or—
• To select multiple files that are not consecutive, hold the Ctrl key and click each file.
2.
Click the Add Tag Mode button ( ) in the Search pane.
3.
Drag a tag from the tag tree to the selected file(s).
Tip:
You can also right-click a selection in the Search Results pane and choose Add Tag from the shortcut menu to add a tag to all
selected media. The Tag Chooser dialog will be displayed. Select the tag you want to add, and then click the OK button.
When you add a subtag to a media file, the tag’s hierarchical position in the tag tree is applied
implicitly.
In this example, adding the “Snare” tag to a media file would mean that a search for “Audio,” “Drum
One-Shots,” or “Snare” would find your tagged media. If the user rearranged the tag tree so that the
“Snare” tag did not appear below the “Audio” and “Drum One-Shots” tags, searching for “Audio” or
“Drum One-Shots” would not find your tagged media.
If you add all three tags to your media file, a search for “Audio,” “Drum One-Shots,” or “Snare” would
find your tagged media even if the tag tree had been rearranged, though this behavior is not always
desirable.
Removing a tag from a media file
You remove tags from media by dragging a tag from the tag list to a media file in the Search Results
pane (or by dragging a media file to a tag) when the Remove Tag Mode button ( ) is selected.
1.

• To select a single file, click the file.
—or—
• To select multiple consecutive files, click the first file, hold the Shift key, and then click the last item.
—or—
• To select multiple files that are not consecutive, hold the Ctrl key and click each file.

Click the Remove Tag Mode button ( ) in the Search pane.
