Bug: Items with Tags applied cannot be copied or cut to non NTFS disks

[Worgle123]

Description

I updated my files version, and as I had lost my disk, I had quite a few files to move onto my disk. I had used tags to keep track of them all, but when I tried to move any number, they would briefly appear, before disappearing again. The ongoing tasks section tells me that the process had failed, so I tried opening them. This worked, so I had a check, and it was only happening with files assigned to a tag. Removing the tags from the files resolved the issue. I sincerely hope that this issue is resolved ASAP, as it makes using the feature extremely difficult.

Disk used was a just about brand new Samsung T7 SSD.

Thank-you for your consideration.

Steps To Reproduce

Set a tag for a file.

Attempt to move the file to a disk. It does not matter which buttons you use to copy/paste them, or whether you drag and drop them. (buttons mentioned being in r/click and top bar)

You should get an error saying that it failed to perform the action in the Ongoing tasks list, and file will not have been moved.

Steps to fix

Fix error which prevents movement of any file to a disk which has a Tag applied. I don't know much about code so can't tell you any possible steps to fix DX (<<<upside down XD)... Sorry...

What happens if you copy those tagged files using Explorer?

Is the disk formatted as NTFS? (Tags only work on NTFS drives)

[Worgle123]

File system is exFAT but I don't know if that is it's format.

What happens if you copy those tagged files using Explorer?

I can copy/cut them, but a dialog box appears saying that it has properties that cannot be copied. I assume this is just the info about which tag it owns.

We should still allow for the file to be copied though. It's not limited to tags, any file with ADS attached would fail to be copied.

This is why, tags don't work on exFAT.

Is compatibility with other formats going to be added, or is it not possible. I really don't want to have to copy/delete my files just to format a disk, especially with 2tb XD...

Maybe the tag could be stripped from the file when it's moved? This could be either an intermediate fix, or maybe it could be a permanent one if the system cannot be ported to other formats.
