Do I need to add Tags?
No, tags are optional, you can add files without Tags - when performing a search, Tagg will match your search criteria
against the tag title,file name and file path and not just the tags.
Does Taggtool change my physical files?
No, Tagg only stores pointers to your files and will never change or move files. Tagg does allow you to copy files but the original
file is left untouched.
When Removing Tags remember that only the pointer to the file is being removed from Tagg's database and not the physical file.

Yes, you can add and update/remove multiple tagged files by shift-selecting the items in the 'Tag Files' and 'Search Database' screens.
