I suspect that the removal of the thags in both the Tags group and the Tags view does not work as detailed in the DT Help.
Indeed, I noticed that I have hundreds of tags (in both the Tags group and the Tags view) wich do not refer to any document. In the tag view which consists of blue colored and grey colored tags, only the grey ones (the usual groups) are referring to one or more items, the blue ones (the specific document keywords) are empty.
To confirm, I made the following test.
1° I select a document > In the info panel I add a specific tag named “Testtag” which does not exist already > Testtag is properly added to both the Tags group and the Tags view (entry is blue colored).
2° I remove the tag “Testtag” from the info panel of the document > at this time there are no longer documents tagged with “Testtag” > but Testtag keeps being listed in both the Tags group and the Tags view although there are no related items in the database.
I guess that this deficiency is the reason why I have so many orphan tags in my database.
2 questions:
1° could somebody tell me whether this is a well known bug, whether there is a fix… or tell me if I am understanding/doing something wrong?
2° is there a proper way to re generate automatically the Tags group and the Tags view to have them consistent with the actual database content?
Thank you for your help
