      I’ve been learning Tabbles and testing it out. Recently, I moved some files in explorer when Tabbles was apparently not active. Despite moving entire directories, when I looked back at the folders, no tags had been persevered, nor rules on the folders.  So my question is:

      1. How are the tags and rules stored exactly, if not in the folders?
      2. If Tabbles is not running and I move files, is all of that information irrevocably lost?
        • As in I’ll have to re-tag and resort everything again?

      Hi there,

      1. in a database, see here: https://tabbles.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tabbles_Manual_(EN)#Using_Tabbles_Local_.28runs_on_Microsoft_SQL_Server_LocalDb.29
      2. No: the shell extension that tracks file movement, does so also when Tabbles is not running (as long as it’s properly installed) and logs movements in a file inside  %appdata%\Tabbles\    . It’s recommended anyway that you keep Tabbles always on and minimised in the icon tray.

      If you move files while Tabbles is not active, the tags and rules should not be irrevocably lost

      Since Tabbles uses absolute paths, when you move files or folders using Explorer while Tabbles is not running, the software has no chance to track that change. It basically keeps looking for the files in the old location, and when the files are no longer there, it considers them gone.
