Hi, newbie here
Often I find tags with the exact same name. I want all the files in these tags to share just one tag, so I select all the files inside one of the “tag groups” -and: drag them to the other “tag group”. Am I doing this wrong?
I’ve assuming that the files I dragged - inherited the tag of the target “tag group”.
Thanks in advance for the advice
Instead of doing what you’re doing, select the two tags and choose Tools > Merge n Tags. This will merge and clean up the redundant tag.
The selected tags are probably not in the same database and therefore Merge Items is disabled and not renamed.
And furthering @cgrunenberg’s comments, you have the top-level (unified) Tags group selected…
This is showing a union of the tags from all open databases.
You can clearly see there are individual Tag groups per-database shown below (indicated by the arrows).
