Dec 7, 2015 3:27 AM in response to Wies Hermansby Wies Hermans,UPDATE: trashing and restoring a files brings back the tags. But this has to be done inside each individual folder. Trashing and restoring a parent folder does not bring back the containing files' tags.
UPDATE: but each time I restart my computer, all tags disappear again in the Finder. Searching for tags and showing tags in the Terminal still works, but hey just don't show up in the Finder.
Any ideas?

Jan 30, 2016 9:08 AM in response to Wies Hermansby willfaulds,Same issue here files show up when searched for by their tag but getting info on the file outside the search makes it appear there are no tags applied...
I have found one way to reset Finder to see tags is to change the parent folders permissions and "apply to enclosed" but on restart this need to be done again!
OS X 10.11.3

Jan 30, 2016 9:45 AM in response to willfauldsby willfaulds,I have also found the following view options force Finder to acknowledge the existence on the tags
Finder - > View Options (⌘&J)
Arrange by = Tags
This unfortunately need to be done on every folder after every restart!

Jan 30, 2016 10:14 AM in response to Wies Hermansby willfaulds,I have submitted this bug report via https://bugreport.apple.com/
Summary:
Applied tags (com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags) are no longer shown after a restart in Finder Get Info.
Finder must be forced to restore the original tag information.
***Without a forced restore "Get Info..." and the "Edit Tags" commands will overwrite the original tag information and persistently store the wrong information.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place TestFileA inside the user Document folder (Desktop appears unaffected)
2. Tag file with "testing"
3. Close window
4. Restart computer
5. Browse to TestFileA (do not search for tag)
6. Select TestFileA
7. Get info on TestFileA
Expected Results:
Get info should show TestFileA has tag "testing" applied
Actual Results:
Get info shows TestFileA has no tags applied
Version:
Clean install 10.11.3
Notes:
Force the Finder window to restore tag info of all files in that directory (but not nested directions) by
Duplicate a file within the directory
OR
Finder - > View Options (⌘&J)
Arrange by = Tags

Configuration:
Desktop folder seems unaffected
