Windows 10: Fastest and easiest way to tag multiple files?

I'm a long-time MacOS power user who has decided to give Windows 10 a try for a number of reasons, one of them is that Apple has done a very poor job of putting out compelling hardware for the last couple of years.

I made good use of tags in MacOS, but I'm finding it difficult to work with tags in Windows 10, specifically because I feel like this small, but powerful organization feature is a few layers deep in the File Explorer. Any time I want to add a tag I need to navigate to the file, right-click it, select Properties, switch tabs, etc.

I'm trying to figure out how to do a couple things:

1. Is it possible to tag a file, photo, or whatever when you save it, specifically files downloaded from the Internet using Firefox. Or any browser for that matter.
2. What's the easiest way to bulk tag a bunch of photos with multiple tags, for example "work", "project1", "team1"? I used to be able to do this with ease from both the MacOS Finder and command line using a tool installed from pip

There are a few more things on my tags wishlist, but these are the high priority ones for right now and any tips, tricks, or advice is greatly appreciated.

Clear the 'cache' in file explorer for already used picture tags?


If you set some tags for your *.jpg pictures, the windows 10 file explorer shows them in the "details pane" on the right side.





This list can get very long and with some wrong or no longer used entries.
How can I clear this list / cache / suggestions?

Or how can I stop the file explorer to suggests already used Tags?

 

Easiest way to roll out w10 to multiple NUCs for new office


Hello


As the title suggests, what is the easiest way to roll out Windows 10 to multiple desktop NUCs all with SSD's? My previous experience is only installing windows to single workstations. My first thought was to possibly create one install and then clone across to the other SSD's although im not sure if that is possible and/or the best solution?


Any advice much appreciated!

 

Open With on multiple files?

you can do this using a workaround by using "Send to" on the right click context menu in Windows File Explorer. Here's how

Step 1 - Add Chrome shortcut to SendTo folder so that chrome may appear in the send to menu.

SendTo folder:%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

This can be done in one of several ways. I will mention one of the easiest below.

• Right-drag the Google Chrome shortcut that was created on the Desktop when Chrome installed, or the Chrome shortcut in the Start menu, to the SendTo folder and select Copy.
  

Note: Right-click this shortcut, select Properties, and confirm that the Target field contains no command line options, just the path + file name for Chrome.

Step 2: Select the 16 JPGs, right click, go to "Send to" & select "Google Chrome".

That's it. All JPGs will open in Chrome, each in its own tab.

I use this with Firefox, but it should work with Chrome too.





Troubleshoot #1

If Google Chrome doesn't appear in the "Send to" menu, try restarting Windows File Explorer from Task Manager.

Troubleshoot #2

If the JPGs open in multiple windows, you might want to consider installing an extension in Chrome to prevent this behaviour. I suggest One Window.
