Removing Pictures From Album And Groups

There are two mechanisms to remove pictures from albums and groups.

1. While viewing a particular album and/or group, you can select the picture(s) and press the Delete key.
2. Using the picture properties screen, you can remove a picture from multiple albums or group easily using the Albums tab. Note: This only works on a single picture at a time. To learn more about this approach, refer to the Picture Properties screen.

In order to remove picture(s) from an album or group by viewing the album/group, you must:

• Open the album or group you want to remove the picture from. Be sure to select the group you want to remove it from. If you want to remove it from the album, select the album name on the album tree.
• Press the DELETE key or use the "Edit->Remove from Album" or "Edit->Remove from group" main menu option.

If the picture only belongs to the selected group or does not belong to any groups in the album, it will be removed from the album. If the picture belongs to multiple groups, FotoAlbum will prompt you for specific actions (e.g. "Remove from all groups", "Remove from current group").

Since a picture can belong to multiple groups in the same album, it is important to have the correct group selected when you press the DELETE key.

Under no circumstances does the DELETE key actually delete your picture file. It merely removes it from an album or group. The picture will continue to display in the All View. If you want to delete the file from your system, use the Delete Picture (CTRL-DELETE) option.

(Warning: If this is your only copy of the picture, you will probably want to move your pictures outside your picture folder as opposed to deleting them).
