Case 3...
There are various papercuts, traps for the unwary and workrounds you
probably
need to know to do things safely:
If are in a tag folder, highlight some files and press "del", you are
deleting the files and
not removing the tags applied to the files. See Bug 431093
If you drag and drop files from one tag folder to another (and specify
a "move"), you get
a "copy". See Bug 431053
Some common applications do not look for and retain the file attributes
when modifying
the file, cf if you tag a JPG file and then rotate it in Gwenview,
Gwenview saves the file
without saving the tags. See Bug 431146
Additionally it may be that trying to assign tags to a read-only file
fails silently (Bug 416258,
this can be an issue with files copied "as read only" from some digital
cameras)
You may silently lose tags when you copy to a filesystem that does not
support xattr's (so
copying from ext4, BTRFS or NTFS to FAT or to a mounted remote
filesystem).
This applies to file system (xattr) tags, embedded (EXIF, ID3) tags are
copied as they are part of
the file. The indexing of remote filesystems is a separate issue (as
per comment 1
and maybe Bug 418605)
