That is called t "tag icon." It represents a paper tag with a string attached. The tag icon means that the photo to which it is attached has associated metadata. It isn't a clickable icon. Beyond that, I know little about it -- nearly of my photos have metadata, but none displays the tag icon. But: in my wife's copy of Aperture (we are heavy users on a passel of Macs, so we have three licenses!) the tag icon is displayed. Can't figure that one out. Davoud -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

AFAICS all the images have this icon attached whether or not they have been modified -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com

I've just discovered that all the images I have imported from iPhoto have this icon displayed, but if I import a file from the hard disk it doesn't. I wonder if that has any significance? -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com |
