I need to organize my tags into folders. When I move a tag into a new folder all the bindings of this tag get lost.  
Is there a way to do this without loosing the bindings?

Thanks,  
Juergen

Unfortunately when you bind something to a tag the full Tag Path is used. Changing the location of the tag causes the tag path to change which in turn breaks the binding.
