Adding tags to multiple icons

Chianti

I don't currently use tagging because you have to add them one-by-one to individual items. I would use tagging if I could highlight several items at once and give them all the same tag(s) simultaneously.

Cheers.

Highlight the items in the center pane, then drag and drop them on the tag you want (in the tag selector).

You can only drop on one tag at once (as far as I know).

Thanks for the tip. It's still a little clumsy because you have to create a tag for one item first, before being able to drag the other items onto it. Also, it seems deleting the tag still needs to be done one item at a time.

Filtering by tags is very useful. I just wish the workflow and UI was a bit better.

You can delete a tag from the tag selector. You can't remove a tag from multiple items at once (while leaving it on other items).
