Clearly that function needs better documentation ... you have misunderstood its purpose completely ... That is certainly the case! The purpose is to use tumme's "database" file and mark image files that have a matching "tag" in the database file. I didn't even know about a database file. That should be mentioned in the functions document string so describe-function displays it. (I had not read the documentation in the Emacs manual.) Did you not ask yourself why tumme would try to provide the exact same thing [as dired]? :) Dired provides two different flags, one for deletion, a `D', and the other for marking, a `*'. I thought that tumme offered yet another flag. Also, I figured that instead of the keybinding being `% t' or something like that, it was `C-t f' because no one had thought of a `%' keybinding. Minor error in Info: (emacs)Tumme For easy browing, type `SPC' (`tumme-display-next-thumbnail-original') to advance and display the next image. Typing `SPC' (`tumme-display-previous-thumbnail-original') backs up to the previous thumbnail and displays the image. The keybinding for `tumme-display-previous-thumbnail-original' is DEL (which on my system is bound to the key labeled `Backspace'). As for tags in the data base, the documentation does not say how to view just the chosen images (tumme marks only certain files and you can display them with `C-t d'; but that should be spelled out for the lackwitted or sleepy among us): (emacs)Tumme To tag image files, mark them in the dired buffer and type `C-t t' (`tumme-tag-files'). To mark files having a certain tag, type `C-t f' (`tumme-mark-tagged-files'). Also, just now, in one instance of Emacs, I tagged two files using `C-t t' (tumme-tag-files), but then in another instance of Emacs, when I used `C-t f' (tumme-mark-tagged-files) to show those files, only one file was marked. -- Robert J.
