I use Electrum on Windows 7 and i have assigned some labels to addresses under the 'Addresses' tab. I decided to import a wallet from my Electrum on Windows 7 to Electrum on Tails. I imported the seed for the wallet but the labels for the addresses are not showing up in the Electrum on Tails.

edit: Nevermind, i didn't see the option to export labels.

(Emphasis is mine.)

Even though the problem was solved, let me tell you more about the seed. The seed is simply the root of every keypair in your wallet. All the private keys and public keys can be derived from it. This excludes labels and imported addresses, because they cannot be derived from the seed. (They were externally added by you, after the generation of the wallet seed.)
