Tag bug

rivergis  wrote I have recently upgraded to PE2018, which I run on Windows 10. I have noticed that tags have been assigned to many photos in error. If I click in the box to select all of the photos with a particular tag, I get some of those photos plus many other photos that should not have that tag. Then I have to remove each errant tag. I have no idea whether I am missing photos that I had tagged correctly. This seems like a database bug. I have been using Photoshop Elements for ten years, so I have a lot of tags. The stars also have many errors. Help!

This happens when you assign a tag with more thumbnails selected than you want. So, a common user error, certainly not a bug.

When that happens, the organizer helps you to select the files for which you want to remove the tag. Highlighting wrong files is totally random, so only a visual search by yourself can find them (no logical criteria).

- select and display all files with the tag

- highlight those which are wrong

- delete the tag for all the highlighted files (not one by one).
