It may be that the export/import function does not work.
When I import the exported .zip file, nothing happens.
Does anyone of you also have the problem?

if you open the zip file is there files in it?

How are you testing the import? Are you using the same Files install or are you using a new system/install. Also if you trying to import tags there's a current bug that stops it working. It will be fixed in the next update.

I forgot to mention that it's primarily about the tags.
Yes, I'm using a fresh installation of Files.
Thanks for the info, I'll have to wait with tags until the bug is fixed.

You can edit the filestags.json now if you want you will need to open Files settings > About > Open log location > Settings folder > Open filestags.json > Copy contents into the zip version of the file.

Not the db file edit the json file.

Does that mean I have to tag my files again every time I have inserted the tags into filetags.json?

prisma saddle
#

No the tag are set on the files/folder themselves. The Json file is just so Files know what to name and color them as

The files that I had already tagged are no longer tagged, so I ask if the filetags.db can be restored. Due to the new installation, this information is no longer there and cannot be imported.

The filestags.db file isn't used for adding tags to files/folder, There stored using ADS (Alternative data streams) directly on them. but it's included in the .zip export.

Ok, so I need to re-tag my files. The files that I had tagged are shown as untagged.
