XYplorer Beta Club

Hi, I'm a newbie .. so I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

I have labels applied to files, and have backed up the files to a new directory (with the configuration option "Copy tags on backup operations" checked).

The tag database shows the tags have been copied and applied: But in the file list and tag tab of that folder, the labels do not appear: Am I doing something wrong? Is it because this is a network drive?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum

Go to the real network path and you'll see that the label is shown
\\ZOMBIE\home\Camera Uploads Backup

You're using a shortcut here by mapping \\ZOMBIE\home
to a drive letter

I wouldn't call this is a bug by itself... Imagine you have 500k items
tagged / labelled on e.g. drive D:. But if this was only a network path
mapped to a drive letter you'd expect XY to be able to resolve every
path on e.g. the belonging server \\server if some part of the path
matches the structure for all tagged / labelled items on every
drive letter in the database (because all of them could (have been) a mapped
drive letter)

If you're only accessing the server via the H: drive letter you could just exit
XY and replace all occurrences of with in XY's tag.dat file (once)
and ofc backup files to the drive letter afterwards, not to the network server's
path...

Highend, Thank you - especially for the tip about search/replace of tag.dat. That worked great. I just have to remember to backup to drive letters.

The more I work with XYplorer, the more I'm falling in love with it. It's an amazing product.
