    Removing a particular tag from photos seems quite convoluted.


The "modify tags" dialog works similar to what you've described. Is that not what you're looking for?

Not really. The 'modify tag' option is fine for single images with just a few tags, but it is greyed-out for multiple selections. And the pop-up window size for the 'modify tags' option is so small that it soon becomes cumbersome for images with lots of tags, where presumable the way to remove the unwanted tag is to manually delete it from the text string.

Any further thoughts on this?

Right now I've selected a batch of photos and they are all mistagged with, say, 'wrongtag'. I want to remove 'wrongtag' from all the photos I've selected, and I can't. Removal of tags in shotwell seems a bit inelegant. I'm not sure how I'm meant to do it. Is it via Modify Tags? I'm doing a lot of retrospective re-organisation and it's exasperating now being able to remove incorrect tags from a batch of photos.

From http://yorba.org/shotwell/help/tag.html :

To remove a tag from one or more photos, first select that tag in the sidebar, then select the photos you would like to remove, and chooseTags ?Remove Tag "[name]" from Photosor right-click on the photos and selectRemove Tag "[name]" from Photos.
