Are finder tags case-sensitive? OS X Mavericks introduced file tagging to Finder and the filesystem. Are these tags case-senstive? For example, could I have an Apple and apple tag?
No.

I am able to seemingly tag files with differently cased words by opening the Get Info window on each file in Finder. However after I save and close each window and inspect the tags for each file the tag that was saved first overrides the other differently cased tag.


Note: this is with the default case-insensitive filesystem. I have not tested this on a case-sensentive filesystem.
