I am hoping that someone might be able to tell me if I am doing something wrong or
is what I am finding is a problem with RM6. When I was adding media to a person and I
accidentally clicked on the wrong media item, it goes into the media for the person I am doing
which is normal, but when i try to remove that media, because it is not the one i wanted there,
it not only removes the tag for that person but it also removes the tags for all the people linked
to that item, which is a real pain if i dont know who it is linked to, i then have to track down who
I think has been tagged to the item.
Is there any way I can just delete the media item without it affecting all the tags and only delete
just the one incorrect one I had done.
Hoping someone can help me with this.
Regards
Geoff

The Help system is deficient in this area. Pressing F1 in either Album or Gallery for context sensitive help brings up pages that say nothing about the usage of the tag area of their windows. The only topic that does cover it is for the Media Properties window and is so titled.

of the 1891 census into the media file for a person and clicked on the 1881 census, so I clicked on remove media to remove the 1881
census from the page and it deleted ALL tags for everyone that was connected to the census record, all i wanted to do is remove the
census record from the one person that i put in wrong, not on everyone else.
Hope this explains things better....

I think it should be in the database's MEDIA GALLERY but not in any media album. There is a popup warning, but it's still too general a kill for the Media Album.

linked to the media, I did however find the tags once i highlighted the media and went to properties of the media, then found the tag to the census
record for that particular person and removed it, the media disappeared from the persons media screen and so far it looks like it has stayed in the
other people's details. Once angain thanks, nice to have some people to bounce it off so i can try something else away from my line of thinking
to get it sorted.

Even though you had highlighted/selected the media item in the Media Gallery or in the Person Media, you saw no tags listed in the right-hand pane? That's very unexpected and inexplicable unless, perhaps, you had not done something to refresh the display after mistakenly tagging it to the wrong thing. Certainly, closing and opening the Gallery or Album will cause a refresh; other actions are variable.the problem I was having is in the main screen i could not see any Tags
linked to the media, I did however find the tags once i highlighted the media and went to properties of the media

If so, move the cursor to the right edge of the window until it changes to a double ended arrow then drag it to the left enough to see the other window panes.
