TAGS keep on disappearing

Post by manmeetbhangu »

Hi

I applied several TAGS for several of my file but every next day only one TAG exists. Rest all disappear. It has happened to me more than once. I am using v14.00.0100

Has anyone seen this issue?

Regards

The box is checked !

I don't know where the problem is. I spent 1 hour tagging multiple files and when I opened it yesterday except for one tag everything was gone.

Try this:
Tag a few more items > File > Save settings
Use Notepad to open \XYplorer\Data\tag.dat
the newly tagged items should appear in this file

weird, there should be Data folder somewhere.
Try this:
Help > Various information >
App Data Path: xxxxxx
Tags Database: xxxxxx
