CHP. 3 USING THE MEDIA MANAGER
79
When you add a subtag to a media file, the tag’s hierarchical position in the tag
tree is applied implicitly.
In this example, adding the “Snare” tag to a media file would mean that a search
for “Audio,” “Drum One-Shots,” or “Snare” would find your tagged media. If the
user rearranged the tag tree so that the “Snare” tag did not appear below the
“Audio” and “Drum One-Shots” tags, searching for “Audio” or “Drum One-Shots”
would not find your tagged media.
If you add all three tags to your media file, a search for “Audio,” “Drum One-
Shots,” or “Snare” would find your tagged media even if the tag tree had been
rearranged, though this behavior is not always desirable.

You remove tags from media by dragging a tag from the tag list to a media file in
the Search Results pane (or by dragging a media file to a tag) when the

If you want to see which tags are associated with a file as
you're adding or removing tags, use the Properties pane in the
Search Results pane (or drag the Tags column in the Search
Results pane to the left so you can see the Name and Tags
columns at the same time).
