DevonThink 3.7.2
Catalina latest release.
I am looking for a way to quickly add tags. I prefer to avoid multiple clicks in the inspector info window.
1- The menu shortcut Edit → Tags… does nothing (nothing happens)
2- I looked at the Help, I can’t find Item > Add Tags in the Menu
- Select the items to be tagged in the list*
- Choose Item > Add Tags from the menu*
- Choose a tag from the list, or start typing the name of the tag and press Return to change the text into a tag*
- Repeat for any other tags*
*Press Return again to apply the tags
3- the following is not useful (for images)
thank you very much !
-
Edit > Tags puts the cursor in the Tags bar under the view/edit pane or the Tags field of the Info inspector.
-
Item > Add Tags. Where are you getting this? There is no Item menu.
-
Data > Tags > Add Tags to Images uses machine learning technology to attempt to identify items in an image. It will add tags if something can be identified.
Bear in mind, this is a machine we’re dealing with so you get its best guesses. Sus scrofa (a wild boar) wouldn’t apply to this little cutie 
but the machine guessed it may relate.

Selecting an item and pressing CTRL+ENTER takes you to the Tags bar below the view/edit pane. There you can start typing the tag name and select from list, etc. Press Return to change the text to a tag.
Am not sure if you were asking specifically something to do with images. This is a general shortcut I use all the time.

thank you and very sorry for the delay.
Item → Add Tags was something I found in help but it was at the bottom and concerned another app. I am an idiot !!
Many apologies for the delay. I somehow missed the fact there were replies.
I am sorry but I can’t figure out where you are. I type Ctrl-Enter and nothing happens.
If it is not asking too much, could you post a snapshot of takes you to the Tags bar below the view/edit pane. I am unable to reproduce this.
thanks very much
