Organize presets and favorites

Create a category

1. Choose Actions > Manage Presets....
2. Select Categories at the top of the management window.
3. Click the New category (+) button beside CATEGORIES.
4. Type the category name and press Return.

The category appears in the list. Categories organize presets inside Little Tagger; they do not create folders in Finder or groups in the tag library.

To create a subcategory, move the pointer over a custom category and click its Add subcategory (+) button. Enter a name and press Return. You can use two subcategory levels below a top-level category.

Assign presets to one or more categories

1. In the Categories tab, select All Presets.
2. Find the presets you want to organize. Use the search field above the list if needed.
3. Select their checkboxes.
4. Click Assign to Category.
5. Click the categories to assign, then close the assignment popover.
6. Select a category in the left-hand list to check its contents.

A checked category contains all selected presets. A dash means it contains only some of them. Clicking a partially assigned category assigns all selected presets to it; clicking a fully checked category removes that membership.

A preset can belong to several categories. Its name and settings stay shared wherever it appears. Presets without any category appear under Uncategorized.

Rename a category or remove a membership

To rename a custom category, double-click its name in Manage Presets, enter the new name, and press Return. Category names must be nonempty and distinct from other categories at the same level under the same parent.

To remove presets from a category without deleting them:

1. Select that category in Manage Presets > Categories.
2. Select the checkboxes beside the presets.
3. Click Remove from Category.

The presets remain in All Presets and in any other categories. A preset with no remaining category moves to Uncategorized.

Add or remove Favorites

1. Close Manage Presets with its × button.
2. In the main sidebar, expand the category or Workflows section containing the item.
3. Click the star beside the preset or workflow.
4. Expand Favorites to see the item there.

Click its filled star to remove it from Favorites. This does not delete the preset or workflow, remove its category assignments, or undo tags already applied to files.

Delete a category or preset

Wait for running work to finish and cancel any pending countdown before deleting saved items.
