Can I embed labels in the actual files?

I make heavy use of the labels feature, but it seems like labels are stored within XYplorer itself. It would be preferable to me to store the labels within the actual file metadata -- so that, for example, if I burn some files to a DVD, and then take that DVD to some other computer with XYplorer installed, the labels are visible on that install even with nothing special being done to the DVD (ie including a portable XYplorer install on it).

Is this at all possible? I tried the 'portable mode' in the configuration, and installed two versions of XYplorer simultaneously (one free and one normal), but they each continue to maintain their own separate tag states for files.

Multiple XYs can share a tag database but ofc that's only relevant in a local network, not if you go to a friend and his local pc.

if transferring tags of a particular folder are all you require, check out this script, hot-from-the-oven, inspired by your thoughts! :kidding:
