For source code I keep a fairly fixed folder hierarchy. I use ~/<company> for work stuff and ~/devel/ for personal projects and experiments.
I know a few people who use tags effectively.
I never found it to work for me either.
On the other hand I find Spotlight to be pretty good at finding stuff. I use It extensively with relatively flat folder structures.
I typically go to the folder I want and then use spotlight to find whateverIm looking for.
- kranner 8y agoSpotlight doesn't work great for me. I have a large number of e-books and documents in my home directory and Spotlight is likely to return the most recently added books even if they are completely irrelevant to the search terms. Results are a little better, sometimes, if I search specifically in a given folder and especially if the terms are in the filename. But it really should work globally.
