Find/import wants to delete tags???

PSE7, Vista x64.
I don't often use import history, but had occasion to this morning. When I did Find / by history / imported on, a dialog box came up saying "deleting keyword tags". HUH? I clicked cancel -- it was taking long enough that I could -- and the import list came up. What the heck was it doing? The last action (per edit/undo) was  "attach keyword tags to items", and I certainly don't want those tags deleted, but I have no idea what tags it was trying to delete!
No damage at this point that I know of, and I can get by without import history, which as I say I hardly ever use anyway. But I'd sure like to know what that dialog box is about.
Thanks,
Edward

Thanks. It's still happening. The only new information is that it happens even immediately after launch, with the undo stack empty, so it isn't trying to delete keywords just attached. Since I haven't allowed it to complete the process, I don't know whether allowing it would complete some pending process and then not happen again.
I suppose I could make a backup of the catalog, let PSE do whatever it's trying to do, and then use SQLiteSpy to try to figure out what it did. Not likely to take the time unless it starts causing a real problem. Or if I slip and don't cancel it, I could load a backup of the catalog and attempt the comparison.
That's a good reminder about writing keyword tags -- I haven't done that in a while. I'm going to wait until I get home -- visiting family this week -- so that the bulge in the online backup will be on a faster connection. ;-)

  • Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

    Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

    Hi Ed,
    The bookmarks are stored within a file called ''places.sqlite'' which is a database, so this is changed, an individual bookmark is not stored as an html file. In addition Firefox makes some backup files automatically of with the name bookmarks, a date and the extension .json.
    If you delete a bookmark from your library it will still exist for a while in the bookmarks backup. Additionaly a record of the site visit will be held in the History unless you visited whilst using Private Browsing.
    If you were to delete places.sqlite note you would loose History as well as ALL your own bookmarks, including any tags keywords folders and descriptions.
    Not sue whether that answers your question fully as I am not too sure what you may wish to achieve. Has something happened that you wish to prevent?
    Depending on what you are trying to do some of these may be worth reading:
    *[[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    *[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    *[[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
    *[[Remove websites from the Awesome Bar suggestions]]

  • Insufficient Disk Space: What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my projects. If I delete them and then empty the trash it will free up some space but I have deleted way more than I am tryig to import.

    I keep getting a message when I try to import pics. Insufficient disk space. What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my pics!

    Easiest thing to do would be to buy an external hard drive and move your Aperture library to that drive.

    You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password.  If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID.  There's no way around this and no one else can help.

    Hello, HenryWang2103.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The Safari, Email and Notes applications are native to the iOS and is unable to be deleted.  Since this is the case, they are either in a folder on the iPhone, on another page or Restrictions are enabled.  You can also search for these Apps on the iPhone by touching the screen and sliding your finger down.  Here is some information regarding these features.  The information about folders is located in the user guide below.

  • When working in iPhoto I kept getting a dialog box that asked if I wanted to delete the photo.  I checked the little box that said do not show this again.  Well, I want to get this warning box back but I don't know where to find it.

    Hi I was organizing pictures in iphoto.  I am new at this.  I was deleting a bunch of duplicate pictures and I kept getting a 'warning box" that kept asking "are you sure you want to delete?"  I knew I wanted to delete all these pics so I checked the box that said "check box if you dont want to see this warning."  So checked the box.  Now I want to get that warning box back.  Any ideas?  I can't find anything on the internet or manuals.  thanks

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Can't find a loop i want to delete

    I created a loop that i now want to delete. The loop shows up in GB but i can't find it in the loops folder or anywhere on the HD in order to trash it. Shouldn't all created loops appear in the GB loops folder?

    it's not stored there, it's in a similar location within your home directory (note: deleting it that way is not a good idea)

  • Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete 1copy

    Using camera accessory, I have imported photos to my iPad 3rd generation. By mistake I have imported multiple copies of same photos. Now if I want to delete additional copies I can't. It gives me only one option "Delete everywhere" instead of delete one by one, so that I can keep one copy of that photo.
    Is there a way to delete additional copies of a photo and keeping only one?

    WordPress is in a class of it's own.  It began it's open source life as a blogging system but it has evolved into a powerful, feature-rich CMS (content management system).  In short, if you elect to use WordPress on your domain, you might just as well use it for your entire web site.
    To work with WordPress, you will need a firm understanding of HTML, CSS and how PHP includes work.
    WP requires you to set-up a dynamic work environment (see links below)
    Find a WP Theme you like that won't require much customizing on your part.

  • I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?

    I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?
    I mean those pictures, which come on when clicking on the user-picture, here "latest".

    Unfortunately I don't speak German.
    Go back to Recents (Letzte), select a picture, and then hit the delete key. Delete all that you want to. At this point the 'Done' button will be grayed out.
    Click the Show All button at the top left.
    Then go back to see if the user pictures were removed. It worked for me.

    Do not let your anti-virus s/w scan your Thunderbird profile folder. This would be asking for trouble, as you're finding out the hard way.
    To locate your profile folder:<br>
    AppMenu button - Help - Troubleshooting Information - Profile Directory - Open Directory
    If your anti-virus s/w did already make changes to your mail file(s), it's very likely something gets corrupted resulting in lost messages. So make sure you do have a backup of your profile.
