<title>Tagging photos</title>
<p>
You can assign one or more tags to selected photos.
A tag can be one or more words that you want to associate with
those photos.
</p>
<p>
To add new tags to photos, select the photos you would like to
tag, then do any of the following:
</p>
<list>
<item><p>Choose <guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Add Tags</gui></guiseq>.</p></item>
<item><p>Type <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq>.</p></item>
<item><p>Drag the selected photos and drop them on the desired tag.</p></item>
</list>
<p>
When you use <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq> or
<guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Add Tags</gui></guiseq> you can type
in the names of one or more tags, separated by commas.
Once you have created a tag, you can rename it by selecting that
tag in the sidebar and choosing
<guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Rename Tag "[name]"</gui></guiseq>,
by rightclicking on it and choose <gui>Rename...</gui> or
double-click on the tag in the sidebar.
</p>
<p>
To change which tags are associated with a particular photo,
select that photo, choose
<guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Modify Tags</gui></guiseq> or
right-click on a photo and select <gui>Modify Tags</gui> and
edit the comma separated list.
To remove a tag from one or more photos, first select that tag
in the sidebar, then select the photos you would like to remove,
and choose
<guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Remove Tag "[name]" from Photos</gui></guiseq>
or right-click on the photos an select
<gui>Remove Tag "[name]" from Photos</gui>.
</p>
<p>
To delete a tag entirely, select that tag in the sidebar and choose
<guiseq><gui>Tags</gui><gui>Delete Tag "[name]"</gui></guiseq>
or by right-click and select <gui>Delete Tag "[name]"</gui>.
</p>
<p>
When you create a tag, it will appear in the sidebar under the
Tags item, which is hidden if there are no tags. Photos can have
multiple tags attached to them, and when you click on the name
of a given tag in the sidebar, you will see all the photos
associated with that tag.
</p>
<section id="hierarchaicaltags">
<title>Hierarchical Tags</title>
<p>
Shotwell supports also hierarchial tags. You can
rearrange your tags by drag and drop a tag onto another.
To create a new subtag right-click on a tag and select
<gui>New</gui>.
</p>
<p>
Hierarchial tags can help you to sort your tag list in
ways that better match how you work or think; for example,
you can store location tags like "Mountains" or "Beach"
under a parent tag "Places", which itself can be placed
under the tag "Summer Holidays".
</p>
<p>
Note that deleting a parent tag will also delete its
child tags.
