Cannot search for files by tags

[stebobibo]

I have a collection of picture files that I have applied tags to in windows explorer. XYplorer cannot see these tags for some reason. In the search menu there is a tab for tags, but it only recognizes tags that were applied to the file inside of XYplorer itself. Another issue is that tags applied to files inside of XYplorer do not appear in windows explorer.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Tags made in WE and XY are completely different (and unrelated). You have to decide which of them you want to use in the future and retag your files accordingly.

In the meantime I wrote a script that is able to import .jpg files (that were tagged inside Windows Explorer) into XY's tag.dat dabase...
