Paul Barrett Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I have some tags beneath the 'Keywords' group (see attachment)<br><br>Two of them are greyed out, the rest are no<font size="2">t. The two greyed out ones have content beneath them, just like the others. Yet their counters are zero whilst the others are not.</font><br> <br>Can anyone explain why this is please?<br><br>Thanks<br><br><br>- Paul <div><br></div><div>Update:</div><div>Also I see that the greyed out tags did not get prefaced to the sub tags when the info was written to the metadata, unlike the ones that are not greyed out.</div><div><br></div><div>Update 2:</div><div>I don't know whether this is relevant, but all of the tags and sub tags inside the Keywords group were created by importing a text file. That file was created in a Daminion Catalogue used ONLY for that purpose, and which had no images imported to it at all. I exported the high level tags (people, events etc) and then reimported them to the live catalogue using the option to convert them to keywords.</div><div><br></div><div>Why some were then greyed out is not clear to me. Perhaps this is irrelevant to the problem.</div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello Paul, greyed out tags are called Tag-group. You can read more about them here and here Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Barrett Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks Daria So, I used tag groups by mistake. Is there anyway to convert them to regular tags please? Or am I gonna have a long manual exercise? - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I gonna have a long manual exercise? - Paul Well, you well have to do a manual exercise, but it will take you only a couple of clicks :) -Create a new tag "People" under Keywords -Expand Group-Tag "People" and select all sub-tags (click the 1st sub-tag, hold SHIFT and click the last one) -Right-click on any selected sub-tag and navigate to Cut -Richt-click on the newly created tag "People" and select Past as Sub-Tag -Do the same with the Group-Tag "Place" Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Barrett Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Daria That worked nicely. It even handled all the sub-tags under 'Place' I turned autosync off before I did it, and on again afterwards. Just as well as it created 12,000 changes Thanks - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
