Oh. Thanks for pointing something that should be obvious to me. :)
I did catch up.

Nevertheless I would be very disappointed if I would take a file to my
home on my PenDrive, and realize that I lost my file tags etc. while I
got there.

On the other side, I would be pretty amazed if I would take a directory
home and it opened its window in the same place on screen with files
laid out in it the same way, with the same tags I left them at work. :D
