tag.dat stop working in XY 25.40.0300

Having updated to lifetime license, and my own tag colors and memory are not displayed.

i use to have an external XYPLORERTAG.dat so that i can move with my hard drives from one PC to other,
and having same drive letter.

[Paths]
FileTagDat="H:\edit\XY\tag.dat"

in the file "admin.ini" stored on the root XYPLORER folder

maybe this external "path" was moved elsewhere ?
how to find the new way ?



( + numbers spacings like "987 654 321" for sizes are still "un-spaced" in Windows 11 and appears "789456123" in XY 25.40.0300 )

What?

How should we know if that path was moved?
Check if that tag.dat still contains your <whatever>?

You now need an Enterprise edition to use that Admin setting, but instead you can just load the tag.dat via the GUI, or set the path inside your normal Xyplorer.ini, eg

TagDatCustom=

And text <xytagdat>; to see if the admin.ini still defines the current source of the tag file...

Oh Wouah : That's much better !

No more need of a "admin.ini", the setting in XYplorer.ini and i'am back with all my colored tags and files.
THANK YOU again. ;)

( maybe so lot Mac OS users don't guess where are stored all their colored files database
and having it all reset with a new Mac, i guess. When us, XYplorer users, have all the control of what and where has to be backed-up )
