<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. You can also
add tag hierarchies on the fly using <input>/</input> as if they
were paths in the file system.
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 right-clicking 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 and 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
<gui>Tags</gui> 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 hierarchical 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>
In all places where textual tag input is supported, tags
can also be created using <input>/</input>. For example,
using <input>/World/Africa/Togo/Lomé</input> will create
or extend the tag tree
</p>
<tree>
<item>World
<item>Africa
<item>Togo
<item>Lomé</item>
</item>
</item>
</item>
</tree>
<p>
Hierarchical 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.
