I tried it with 2.5.10 and it’s still not showing the files.
I cannot reproduce it. Are there any other conditions?
Thank you for testing, I really appreciate your willingness to figure out the exact steps to reproduce both this issue and the one with the context menu. I don’t have an ETA for fixing them but having good steps to reproduce the issue certainly helps.
Can you update the steps in the description to reproduce this issue?
That’s certainly possible, we’re going to have to figure out what’s going on with the context menu but in the meantime, you can drag items to a tag in the sidebar to add the tag.
