Windows 10: tagging pictures

So i have just spent two hrs trying to complete 1 simple task on my windows 10 microsoft surface. I am accessing all my photos and videos via my seagate external harddrive.

I open a video folder by date. I right click on a video and access "details" then "properties" I type my childs name, ex: Tiffany. a cute little box appears next to tiffany's name i check the box and click ok. "apply" is greyed out so i cannot click "apply" and then "ok" just "ok".

I close video folder . Go back into video folder , go to upper right hand box that says "search" i input tiffanys name. Nothing. So i cannot figure out how to tag my children and then search them. Help would be so 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?

tags or title for pictures / photos

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Title is used to get more information about the content, different documents will have different title.

You can add same tags for documents with different title to group them to together, which will help in searching the file with same tags. I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to add tags or title to your image.

Steps:

1. Right click on the Image or photo you want to tag.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select Detail tab.
4. Under Description section, select
   tags or title.
5. Add your tags or title and click on
   Ok.

Note: You can add more than one tag to the same image or photo.

Hope it helps.
