Tagging images whilst viewing....

Post by philg »

I am looking to plough through lots of images and pick out some of them for burning to a CD/DVD

What I was going to do was browse though them with the image viewer, and tag the ones I want to burn - then I'd just copy the tagged ones to my burner program

BUT

I can't see how to tag images from view - it only seems possible to tag from the browser

Unless anyone out there knows better......

Thanks

Is there an alternative to do what I am trying to do (skim through a set of images in View mode, and "mark" some of them for later burning/copying??)

Why don't you use the browser/fullscreen view?

I was struggling to see what you had in mind here, but I stumbled across CTRL-T to toggle tags (that's not shown as a keyboard shortcut)

Now I have just what I want :) Thanks

(Now I just need my "random media card fill" function to bubble to the top of your list ;)

Yes, Ctrl+T toogles the tag in image view mode. Use Ctrl+I to display the image information with the current tagging state of the image.
