Cannot un-reject file in Bridge

[Ocean 11]

I am going through older shoots and found several "reject" files that I decided are not rejects.

Now the problem: you can reject a file, but you cannot remove the "reject" label.

"No label" does not work, you cannot apply a star to it. I researched online before posting here.

This is silly. For ten years you have not been able to remove a "reject" label - and still no solution?

Some people even bought an exif tool to clean out the reject label. Silly to the power of 2.

So is there a way to remove the silly reject label?

How do I remove a reject label in Bridge?

Remove Reject Label

Or you could even use a script:

Re: Star rating stopped working

But there is really no need as CMD/CTRL + 0 (zero) should do the job.

ExifTool is free, but learning to use it takes time/effort. The command line code to remove the reject rating is:

exiftool rating= FILE

(where FILE is the operating system path to the file, enclosed in single quotes on Mac or double quotes on Windows if there is a word space in the path).

Thank you, Steven.

So "reject" is not a label, but a rating.
