From the main browser screen, select thumbnails for any files to which keywords should be added. Single Thumbnails can be added to a selection by holding down the Ctrl key while left clicking with the mouse. A batch of thumbnails will be added to the current selection when the Shift key is held down while left clicking thumbnails. See Selecting Thumbnails.

Press and hold down the Ctrl key and T key simultaneously (Ctrl+T). The Quick Tag shortcut will immediately display a floating Keyword list. Click on a keyword in the list to add it to all selected files. Any time a new keyword must be added to the list simply click "(new keyword)".

When adding a new keyword a prompt will appear asking for the new term. Click Ok when done and the new term will be added to the selected files and added to the working vocabulary for this folder or collection. Media Purveyor manages vocabulary lists based on all the terms discovered in the current folder or collection.

Note that the very next time Quick Tag (Ctrl+T) is used the keyword that was just added will be present. Once a term has been added it will only be necessary to click on the keyword to add it to the selected files.

Select thumbnails of files to which keywords will be added. For help see Selecting Thumbnails.

Click "Add Keywords" on the Batch Tasks area. For help configuring the various Tasks areas see Configuring Tasks.

A dialog box will show that lists keywords with a checkbox next to each. Simply place a check next to each keyword to add to the selected files. To add a new keyword click "Add Keyword" or Alt+K.

A new keyword box will appear. Type the name of the new term and click Ok. If more keywords need to be added simply continue clicking "Add Keyword"; doing so will build Media Purveyor's vocabulary for this Folder/Collection and it will not be necessary to add these terms again.

Now place a check next to each keyword to add to the selected files and click Ok.
