tag -u missing some tags

Open humanitiesclinic opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

In a directory in an external harddrive, I know I have some files with tags I have added with Finder. I verified this with:

Users-MacBook-Pro-3:Zdownloaded_FROMstart_TO202012_ASOF2020Feb15 user$ tag -m "Special-LightRainbow"
202012wang-kais-personal-photo-2.html_Kai2-053.jpg
202012wang-kais-personal-photo-2.html_Kai2-056.jpg
202012wang-kais-personal-photo-2.html_Kai2-057.jpg

But when I use tag -u in this directory, I cannot see the tags:

Users-MacBook-Pro-3:Zdownloaded_FROMstart_TO202012_ASOF2020Feb15 user$ tag -u .
[returns nothing]

If I use tag -u globally, I can see other tags but not those in this directory.

The same goes for tag -u -local

May I know if I have done anything wrongly?
