11.3 Managing Tags
Use tags to categorize any of your images to create manageable
subsets of your collection. If, for example, you would like to get
some sort of order in your collection of portrait shots of your
loved ones, proceed like this:
-
Select the mode
of f-spot.
-
In the left frame of the f-spot window,
select the category, right-click it, then
choose . The new tags then appear
as subcategories below the category:
-
Create a new
tag called Friends.
-
Create a new tag called Family.
-
Now attach tags to images or groups of
selected images. Right-click an image, choose ,
and select the appropriate tag for this image. To attach a tag to
a group of images, click the first one then press Shift and
select the other ones without releasing the Shift key.
Right-click for the tag menu and select the matching category.
After the images have been categorized, you can browse your
collection by tag. Just check > and
the displayed collection is limited to the images tagged Family.
Searching your collection by tag is also possible through > . The result of your search is displayed in the
thumbnail overview window.
Removing tags from single images or groups of images works
similarly to attaching them. The tag editing functions are also
accessible via the menu in the top menu
bar.
