@bluefrog - Yes, syncing via Dropbox. And I’ve so far had no other problems with my Dropbox sync. Custom metadata (which I’ve added after your suggestion in this thread) does seem to persist, though I haven’t tested it thoroughly yet.
I wonder if your comment in this other thread might point to something relevant:
Yes, indexed groups are excluded from tagging by default when in a database with group tags. You can remove this exclusion via the contextual menu or the Exclude from section of the Generic Info inspector, as needed.
On one hand, this makes me think: “is there a single setting I could adjust to make this work?” (Note that, per screenshot below, the “Tagging” option is grayed out under the “Exclude from” in Generic Inspector). But on the other hand, I don’t understand why I could tag the indexed files in the first place if the problem is a default that indexed files don’t get tags. Feeling very thick…
