Hello,
If I wanted to manually save off all of the values in all tags found in System, Vision Client_Tags, Sample_Tags, and default all at once, how can I do that?
I don't want to use that export for anything besides having a human-readable file that shows all of the tags and their current values.

There's no built-in way to do that. You'd have to script it, with combinations of system.tag.browse() and system.tag.readBlocking().
In addition to what Phil said, realize that Vision Client Tags don't actually exist on the Gateway; they only exist in a running Vision Client, and each Client has its own independent set of those tags.
Well, they do exist in the designer, too.
Oh yeah, that too.
Thanks. My goal was to be able to get all of this info off the tools in under 20 minutes in Designer. The Tag Report Tool does this well on a single provider, but I was hoping I could scope that to all providers that the tool has access to.
The tag report tool can be called from scripts. The tag report tool GUI will even hand you the script for what you configure.
Hmm, yeah, maybe playing with system.tag.query you could get something working. I haven't really used it much.
I've used it a bunch in the past year. It's awesome. (Another Exchange resource is on the way.)
