Sorry for misunderstanding, I checked the files don't having tags attached
to them when we copy and paste the file only. But when we move or do cut
-paste, the tags are remained with the files. .

So, we will move with resource tagging with nepomuk option. And also  we
need not to make nepomuk stuff as  hard dependency as silvio suggested in
the previous mail.

How should the GUI should look and do we need any separate tab so that in
that tab we have all tagging functionality ?
