Adding tags
Adding tags stores additional information about the file. The tags will appear in the
Details section when viewing a file within a folder. The tags will not appear when
viewing an album, nor when images are shared through Facebook, Flickr or RSS. You
can search for a file by entering text from its tags. See "Searching for files and folders"
on page 40.
To add tags to a file, start by selecting its folder. Select the file, display the menu, and
then select View Details. Alternatively, select the file, and then click the Show Details
icon ( ). Enter the tags in the Tags box of the Details section.
Tags allow you to describe each file on your ICY BOX Mediaserver. If you tag files
consistently, you will be able to find them more easily, especially as their number grows
over time.
For example, assume you took a number of pictures at Jane's 11th birthday, which was
held at your cottage. You enter the following tags for each picture: birthday, Jane,
eleven, cottage. Some pictures have Mary or Joe in them, so you enter Mary or Joe as
tags in those pictures.
Later you can search for birthday pictures. Tagged pictures from all birthdays will
appear, including tagged pictures from Jane's birthday. Or you can search for pictures
from your cottage. All tagged pictures from the cottage will appear, including tagged
pictures from Jane's birthday. If you search for birthday cottage, then only birthday
pictures from the cottage will appear.
Note that you can tag music, video and documents as well as photos.
Deleting a file
Deleting a file removes it from the folder. You can delete multiple files at once.
To delete a file, start by selecting its folder. Select the file, display the menu, and then
select Delete.
Note that if you delete a file, and an album contains a reference to it, the item will no
longer be available from the album.
