Hi, what will happen with the tags when I have to change the operation system. Are they still available or are they lost? How to transfer the tags to the files in that case?  
Thanks for your help!

Hi, since the tags are saved in the name of files or sidecar files, changing the operating system is not problematic. You just have to install the TagSpaces on the other operating system and copy/move the tagged files and folders.
