For this task, however, list view is the winner:īit of a mess, but click on the column head “Tags” and suddenly the strategy makes a whole lot of sense: If you’ve never dabbled, do try all four views to see how they allow you to navigate the file system in different ways. That’s done by choosing the second view - the three lines - from the Finder toolbar: Where this gets really helpful is when you switch Finder views so that you’re in list view. Once tagged, the photo, in icon view, includes a tiny colored circle to visibly denote it’s had a tag assigned: This photo is of the dashboard design if you’re curious. In this instance, I’m going to tag this particular photo ‘green’ to remember it’s a keeper for the subsequent article I’ll be writing about the 2020 Lexus ux 250h F Sport.
Let me show you…įirst off, to apply a tag to a file, Command-Click and choose the color you prefer from the menu: Tags let me identify the winners and then pull them out of the gallery so I can process them further and upload them as necessary.
#Mac os tags not working mac
As it happens I do use tags on my Mac system too, but in a slightly different way: I often am sifting through dozens or hundreds of photos to find the ones I want to use for an article or blog post. Then later you can search all files associated with that tag. The idea is simple when you create a file or folder, identify it by project, class, purpose or client by giving it an appropriate tag. Tags are one of those features that was added to MacOS X quite a while ago. Or email? Gmail shows us that you don’t need folders when you have email search too, right? But… do you use folders on your Mac and labels to organize your email in Gmail? Yeah, me too.
Files don’t need to live in folders, for example, you can just use a search system to find what you want. Then it hits the wild and everyone yawns and continues using their computer in the old, classic manner. You can imagine a team of developers creating the feature with enthusiasm, just knowing that people are going to be wowed and love it. Every operating system seems to end up with features and capabilities that are mostly ignored or forgotten by users.
