Mac OS Finder Tags

I use Finder Tags to organize my project folders and locate files easily from the finder. Tags work well for Illustrator, but not at all for Indesign—nothing shows up for Indesign (see screenshot). I am wondering if it's a me thing, or if for some reason there just isn't support for tags in InDesign.

    You can't get an answer for question like that in the user forums.

     

    You should report bugs to the InDesign User Voice website:

    Done. Find the thread here:

    Please VOTE here to report the bug. 

    (there are 3 similar bugs report, we should join them)
    note: the bug is only in 'tagged folders' & in 'place' command (cmd+D), you can still see other tagged *files*, or the tagged folders when they are in their original source

    Place (cmd+D) can't see tagged folders on mac


    By @Mendi M

     

    Good to see this bug is now being reported.

     

    However, may I suggest to edit the bug title for clarity because right now it sounds misleading. It implies that you don't see tagged folders in the Place dialog under any circumstances, which is not true. Obviously, we do see tagged folders UNLESS we specifically search by tag.

     

    A more accurate description would look like this:

     

    Place (Cmd+D) can't see tagged folders on Mac when searching by tag

    You're right.
    I don't see how to edit it now, just want people to vote so adobe will fix it already
    It bothers me almost every day

    I'm seeing Finder tags in InDesign. I'm using macOS Ventura 13.6.2 and InDesign 2024:

    Thanks Steve, that's helpful. You're using the same versions as me, so it's a me thing somehow.
