Make the tag window in memories easier to use

Robert Gordon George

I usually put documents into memories as jpg's so I can tag the people who appear in the doc. When I click on a person, a window appears, of course. That window can be adjusted in size only from the bottom right corner. I usually try several times to put the top left corner where I want it to be, then adjust the bottom right. That's an aggravation, but can be overcome.

However, it's more than an aggravation when several names appear towards the bottom of the page. I have to click inside the document (or it won't recognize the click), so often the top of the tag window is way above the person's name, sometimes on top of another name. I was just referring back to a doc I put in a while back, and I found I had to decide all over again which person was which because I couldn't discern which window was around which name.

A top left yellow circle like that that appears on the bottom right would be so helpful.

1. (Optional) To make the tag larger or smaller, click the green circle, and drag it to the correct size.
2. (Optional) To reposition the tag, click in the tag, and drag it to the desired position.
3. In the text box, enter the name of the person. As you type, names of your ancestors and relatives in Family Tree appear.
   • If the correct name appears, click it. The memory is now attached to that name in Family Tree.
   • If the correct name does not appear, finish typing the name, and click Add New. This memory is not yet attached to Family Tree. If the person is in Family Tree, click Attach to Family Tree, and find the person using his or her name or ID number.
4. Repeat for everyone in the photo or document.

Hi @ Robert Gordon George, Thank you for query regarding placing a tag on a photo with several people in it.

I agree it is a game of patience to locate the square in the proper place but carefully adjusting the frame and moving it into place can be done and at times the square can be quite small. After you have moved the square to the correct place you can type the name of the person and select a suggested name or add a new name.

Attached is the URL of the Knowledge Article from which above extract was taken. Keep up this invaluable work and your work is very much appreciated as you further the Gathering of Israel and prepare for future generations.

Kind Regards

Thanks. I didn't know about clicking in the middle of the window to move it. That solves the problem.
