Tags bug syncing via Dropbox?
Hello. I seem to have run into a bug of sorts, and couldn't find the proper avenue to submit it.
I'm presently working with two Macs - a Macbook Air and an iMac, both using the same Dropbox account. Initially, I was trying to look for a way to sync tags given a similar Dropbox file structure for both computers. I ran into this situation:
• Renamed the red tag to "Factory" (or any other name for this matter) on both Macbook Air and the iMac.
• On the Macbook Air: tagged a number of folders and files inside the Dropbox folder.
• A short while later, the same files on the iMac updated and showed a red-colored tag. Everything checked out so far.
• Clicked on "Factory" on the iMac. No files visible, in spite of the files inside the Dropbox folder clearly having a red tag.
• Checked properties of the synced files on the iMac. The tag shows the word "red" with a transparent color instead of "Factory" with a red color. Is this an OS X issue or Dropbox's?
Since this kind of syncing wasn't working, I played around trying different things. I somehow ended up tagging a certain file with TWO red tags, one named "Red" and another named "Factory". My tagged file had two red tags on it. Odd bug #1?
So, I tried something different. I untagged all files and started from scratch. I changed the red tag name on both Macs back to the default name "Red". I repeated the procedure mentioned above from the second bullet point. This time, clicking on "Red" on the iMac showed all files correctly.
So working with Dropbox requires that all tags on all Macs be set to their default names (red, orange, yellow, etc.). Perhaps someone can think of a workaround?
