Hi, I’m developing a module in Java and I have a question. Is it possible to know which tags exist in the default provider whithout having to specify the path for each of them? I have defined a new data type tag in “Data Types” folder and I would like to find out how many tags are of the type that I have defined. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi again, then nobody knows how to get the list of tags from the default provider? If this is not possible, it means that a module can not know when a new tag is created?
