Odditity with Removing Orphaned Tags

Post by GreetingsFromPoland »

hi!
i have several orphaned tags on local (deleted, missing folders) and removable drives (not connected).
to remove them i use this :
  • Configuration | Information | Tags | Options... | Database Check | Check fixed drives only is UNCHECKED
this works perfectly. the orphaned tags are removed.

however, if i attempt to remove them using this method :
  • Tools | List Management | Tagged Items
  • manually select the orphaned tags (icon for these entries is a circled question mark),
  • click Delete (they are removed from the list),
  • click OK,
    the status bar shows "no saving required: Tags"
    if i go back into the "List Management - Tagged Items" dialog box, the orphaned tag entries are still shown and have NOT been removed.
