You got to un-check **Whole albums collection** or **Whole tags collection** to get access to the drop down fields where you can select albums or tags. Note that in this drop down field you have a context menu to select or deselect children and/or parents and also to invert the selection. If you switch from **Albums** to **Tags** or vice versa your selection in the now grayed out item will remain untouched which might be useful if you need a certain selection more often. 0025 0026 .. figure:: images/maintenance_tags_select.webp 0027 :alt: 0028 :align: center 0029 0030 The digiKam Maintenance Options to Select Tags 0031 0032 Since many of the processes the maintenance tool can perform are time consuming (depending also on the scope, of course) you have the choice to check **Work on all processor cores** if your machine has more than one and they are not occupied otherwise. 0033 0034 .. figure:: images/maintenance_common_options.webp 0035 :alt: 0036 :align: center 0037 0038 The digiKam Maintenance Common Options to Process Tools 0039 0040 The **Use the Last Saved Active Tools and Settings** allows to force to remember the options selection taken at last maintenance tool session.
