That's odd, because when I installed, it must have put in 300 tags that were on this sample "gallery" of photos it installed. I deleted those pohtos, but the tags still remained.

And there was no way to say "hey, resynchronize the tag list with my actuall photos, deleting any unused tags"... an obvious function that I cannot imagine why it's missing. I hope to god the next version includes better tag management, including this OBVIOUSLY NECESSARY ability to delete all unused tags in one go.

Right-clicking and deleting them one at a time just isn't even remotely a realistic option, given there were over 300 of them... NONE of them being ones I'd likely use in any of my own tagging.

I'm going to try the solution listed here, but this should be something done via the UI by simply right-clicking the "tags" node. I can't believe this isn't in there by default, from the beginning.
