Where are the tags on export to the file system?
I am using the `calibredb export` command on macOS to write all my books to the file system in the following manner:

Code:
calibredb --library-path=http://localhost:8282 export --all --to-dir ~/tmp/calibre-books --progress --dont-write-opf --dont-save-cover
From the manual I figure that the saved books should contain the metadata from my calibre library (because I do not give the option --dont-update-metadata). In calibre I have applied tags to my library items, but I cannot see them in the exported books. I expected them as Finder tags, but this happens neither for ePUBs nor for PDFs.

Do I do anything wrong?
