Vista64 RTM seems to have a bug within the graphic file metadata, as
visible in the relevant picture here:
http://cquirke.spaces.live.com/Perso...&_c=PhotoAlbum
If you include "/" characters in a tag, only the text to the right of
the last "/" is displayed, though the full tag is displayed in the
ToolTip for that tag.
Stability problems may follow the creation of such tags, when working
with tags on other graphic files in the same folder.
