Add file tags to multiple images in file manager (not page tags)

Using Concrete / Help
1

I’m trying to add tags to multiple images in file manager. In the available file attributes, I find title, description, width, etc. and my custom attributes, but not the tags attribute. Where is it?, - the field to enter multiple values? When I edit file attributes on a single image I do do see «tags» to enter. This attribute is written into the file.

I’ve tried, and read all forum info after searching «adding multiple tags / batch tags images». No clues found, unless it’s me, - dim.
How can I achieve this?

I sure can add another custom text attribute called «img tags» as a option list and then use that.
but I want to use the «tags» attribute, appearing in the list of the single image.

Preferably I would use the same tag list I have set for page attributes. Would this be a possibility?

I use an Atomik clone, v.9.4.6, no other addons installed.

Thank you for any insights.

Are you referring to the dialog that appears when you select multiple files and choose the “Properties”?

If so, yep, it seems there are missing attributes that can be customized that way:

Thanks for replying.
Yes, thats exactly what I’m looking for, right there.

Batch applying file tags, to multiple images, preferably from a preset list, similar to adding page tags to pages.

Since there is no answer, I can only confirm as @mlocati did.

I think this is by design that Concrete excludes the Tags attribute from the multi-file Properties, to prevent overwrite exixting settings / tags in file atributes. Though I’m not sure.

I’d try adding tags programmatically to selected files:
$file->setAttribute(‘tags’, ['tag_one›, ‘tag_two’]);
I’m sure there are many ways - it would require some extra coding.
