Lost three days of tagging, are they stored in library or prefs files?

Edit: Just saw tag info in library folder "Ableton Folder Info" so hopefully they show up after a long scan.

Was having some issues with not being able to add files to the library or delete them from the Live browser. Haven't heard back from support for over a week and needing to work ended up deleting files and folders in below and I think that resolved that issue:

~/Library/Application Support/AbletonĀ 
~/Library/Preferences/Ableton.

The user tags are gone now though. Are the tags stored in these folders, or in the library? I did save the files and folders that were in those before deleting them. How do I get the tags back?

Would not be a thing, but I went like a madman for three days meticulously going through and tagging.

Thanks for any pointers.

Not sure if you are tagging samples, devices or both, but I did some testing on this recently...

Cool, thanks. The user tags showed up at the end of the scan. Hope that helps someone.
