two category tags are gray, the others black

[Egon]

Hello,

 

two category tags in the tag panel are gray.

Can anyone say why?

 

 

 

Why the number of photos from this categorys is displayed only once?

 

Build: 1607

 

Thanks

Egon

two category tags in the tag panel are gray.

Most likely the "grey" categories are not yet approved. Right click those and select "Approve Selected Tags". I said "grey" in quotes, because I believe, it is another color - (violet?).

Hello Egon,

the tag "Unassigned" is grey by default. It's a "system tag" and all items without a Category are "assigned to Unassigned".

Please check: Is the grey tag "Autos" a Tag or a Group? For "Groups" the grey color is used in the panel.

Hello Uwe,

 

"Autos" was a group.

 

Thank you.

Hi,
I created several groups myself.
Some have been written in dark others in light gray.
The number of elements is displayed for the dark ones.
In the case of the light gray, the elements are not counted, it is "0".

If i export the Tags, the light gray ones are displayed like this:  <<BERGE>>

What is the reason?
Can i fix this?
Is that also the case in version 7?

Erwin, are you sure, the black tags are all Groups? It seems to me, they are just the lowest level of hierarchical tags.

Hi Wilfried,

You're right, that's the difference.
I find it irritating that the elements are not counted in groups.
Now I have to decide whether to switch to hierarchical tags.
Thanks.

Agree it is confusing, but also logical in my opinion: You cannot assign a group as tag to an image whereas the root level of a hierarchy can be assigned to images, regardless whether they are also tagged with one or more of the lower levels.

I came to the conclusion that the groups don't make much sense to me. Mainly because they are not written into metadata.

Hi,
I think that will be my way too.

I didn't find a use case for groups in the way i use Daminion. And, as Wilfred wrote, groups are not in the metadata of the files.
