Hello,

I want to delete the historic of tags in media pro. How can i do it? In addiction i would like to know how big can a catalogue be. I have one with about 800 million pictures. Is this going to work right when searching for more then one tags?

thank you

    When the keywords are saved inside the images this is no solution but when the MP database is the only place they live in you could give it a try:

    In C:\User\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Media Pro\Plug-ins\Vocabulary\Default you will find all the 'tag' files:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25580003/EM_Keywords_file.JPG

    These are normal txt files, you can edit them with notepad.
    I hope this will work...

    This is a very hign number, i think you are going to meet big performance issues at least.
    Not long ago (EM) the limits were: 128.000 in 1 catalog. Each catalog could be max 2 Gb.
    However, these limits (apparently) no longer exists but my strong advise is to do some extensive testing...

    I think the 'autocomplete' indeed is drawing from this list. So give it a try with emptying it.
    I'm not sure how you can find it on a mac but i think this will work:

    1. In scrips menu go to Tools/Reveil scripts folder
    2. Go one level higher (into the plug-ins folder)
    3. Go into the Vocabulary folder

    I think the easier method is to open the Vocabulary Editor via the menus (in the English version I select Media Pro > Preferences > Vocabulary Editor...).

    In the Vocabulary Editor select for Vocabulary: Default and for Field: Keywords. All the keywords in your keywords file are listed. Select the keyword(s) you want to remove and click the "-" button in the lower right.

    This process edits the same file that you would have accessed using the method described by rmoorlag, but this method is more user-friendly.

    Yes, thanks syncrasy, this is indeed an easier method. Stupid i didn't think of it 😊
    It's even posible to select all the keywords to delete them together (in windows click te first en Shift/click the last keyword)

    Well, Roelof, I didn't even know about the "Reveal Scripts Folder" tool (on the Mac it's called "Reveal Plug-ins Folder"), so you taught me something! (Not the first time.) That tool will come in handy if/when I ever have to upgrade to OS Mountain Lion and/or Media Pro. Apparently in the new Mac OSs the Mac Library folder (Application Support, etc) is completely hidden.

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for the help. I realized last week that it was very easy to solve the problem that way. Media Pro > Preferences > Vocabulary Editor...).

    Thank you very much for the help anyway:)

    Regards
