very strange tags appearing (same as filename)

Georgespyros

...

I noticed a very strange thing today.

Some pictures of mine, in certain galleries have a tag, which is the same as their filename, except the last part of the filename if applicable.

for example.

a file name SPYR1231-2, has tag SPYR1231

I am sure when i did the upload i had no tags/keywords applicable. I crosschecked my LR library.

Not all pictures in the same gallery have tags.
I see that tags autoexist mainly between same filenames, but not dublicate pictures (i.e. when changing memory cards numbering gets reseted, so you may have 2 identical filenames...).

Any thoughs how to 1) correct that 2)prevent it from happening?

I am trying to build a search pattern with keywords/tags, and this ruins everything.

Thank you.

It sounds like you have filename keywording turned on.

• Go to your account settings.
• Click Discovery
• Click Search
• Set Filename Keywording to OFF.

You will need to edit your keywords to remove the unwanted keywords.

You will need to edit the keywords for those pictures and remove the unwanted keywords. Hopefully there are a limited number of galleries... Go to the gallery in the organizer and edit keywords and captions. Remove the unwanted keywords.
