Managing Tags
Glancing through the Tags in tag browser and learn that I have well over 2,000 meta-data tags. Then figured out how to do some simple editing of the Tags. So I deleted a couple of useless tags. Great. Then I found a misspelled tag and fixed that. Nice.
Now comes the problem. I found that I had two tags, intended to be the same word, but one was misspelled. After fixing the misspelled Tag I really thought the two tags would merge and become one correctly spelled Tag and encompass all the records of both previous Tags. Not so good. The misspelled Tags simply vanished, and no merger took place. So is there some method to merge Tags when making corrections or clean ups? |

When that happens to me I just select the "wrong" tag in the left-hand tag browser, select all the books now listed, hit "E" (or use the menu to select bulk-editing metadata), then type the correct tag in the "add tags" box and type the incorrect tag in the "remove tags" box.
I had to do this after staying up too late and tagging several books with "Sceince Fiction". |
