Sorry about this, I'm attaching the relevant (and maybe some irrelevant) 
parts of my .zshrc
I changed from using file-patterns to simply list-dirs-first, which 
seems to have the same effect (without allowing me to manually specify 
tags and desciptions). In any case, if anyone has an idea for a 
workaround, I'd love to hear it
