Upgrade StorageWarning: Delete all automatic tags also removes edited tags!
I saw a few weeks ago the option to "Delete all automatic tags", which I took the opportunity to do, as I have never found useful these automatic tags (appearing in a different color). I only realized days later that this process *also removed all automatic tags I had edited and later added to many other documents*!
To give you a concrete example, let's say I added a book, which came with automatic tags "Games", "Psychology/Education", and some other things. At some point, I removed all useless tags, but kept "Games" and changed it to "games" (I keep all my tags lowercase), or some even more edited name. At that moment, being edited, it showed up in the normal color, so I assumed these edited tags where no longer considered "automatically added". Even worse: after that, I added this "games" tag to many other documents. When I used this function the tag "games" was deleted and thus removed from ALL documents.
This is clearly not the behavior I was expecting from this function. I would recommend to, AT LEAST, print out a warning about the severity of the consequences, with ideally the list of tags that would be definitely deleted. A better solution would be not to delete all automatic tags that have been edited.
(P.S. If you know of a way I could recover these lost tags [sadly, I could not use the 1 day old backup, since I realized these tags were missing several days after deleting them], I would be interested! I lost many important things there...)

Can you provide precise steps to reproduce?
