[SOLVED] How to remove images from category in batch editor?

[lucatoParticipant]

Hi folks, I have used the batch editor to add images to categories and have added some by mistake in the wrong category. Now I wonder how to remove the image from the category? In the batch editor I have selected the category I wanted to remove the images from, but there was not “delete” button or “remove selected files”.

Any idea how to exclude these?

Thanks.

Try using bulk editor or single editing them if there are not too many. I have not tried it in batch editor so cannot answer for this one.

The bulk editor you mean is the same as batch editor or am I missing something? I have tried batch editor as reported above, and there is no way to delete, at least for me here. Now I’m trying to do it in a single editing, but the search function within the “All images” is terrible! It doesn’t get to find exact phrases between quotes, you do not get to use wildcard, you can’t select to search within categories, keywords or other, and so on. If I find some better solution I’ll share here.
Thanks.

Bulk Editor in the All images – but I have just remembered that that does not remove categories, only add them so it is a one at a time job for now as far as I know

Christine, it removes, a “hidden feature”, I just found it out. Here is the trick:

1. Goto menu Symbiostock/Batch Editor;
2. Click on “CATEGORIES” and it will open the modal popup;
3. Click on the categories dropdown list and select the category you want to remove images from;
4. It will show all images thumbnail within this modal pop-up with the link “>> Remove nnn” where nnn is the image#.

That is it.

IMHO it should be in the main window when we select the categories dropdown menu on the top right, instead of in the modal. ;0)
