Readding tags

mrmarkfr · 01-21-2013, 12:50 PM

I accidentally deleted a bunch of tags that I need, I was thinking that if I deleted the tag for Romance, it would delete all the romance books, not realizing that the books remained and the tag disappeared.
Is there a way to re-add the tags back to default, and have it scan my library?

The Tag List is simply a List of Tags currently in use (in at least 1 book).
Once you remove the last usage, it is gone from the list.

Simply add the name back to Tags on a book (Best it apply to that book

)

Switching to what you thought you were doing:
Deleting all books that have a tag (we are keeping it simple here):
Select the tag in the Tag browser (Green +): Now Select All (Ctrl+A or click on the box just above the row numbers): Click the Recycle Icon or use the option arrow at the right edge for finer control
