- zmix 7y agoI tag my files on macOS since the OpenMeta days. But I refuse to access any library with an application frontend, it's the file system or nothing. These Librarian apps are good for metadata management. That's what I use them for. However, I am mostly on Windows, these days, so no chance for filesystem tags, even worse now, that I have all my eBooks on a home server.
- pnutjam 7y agoThe DB frontend is very useful for metadata, short descriptions, and finding duplicates. I run a headless version of Calibre in the cloud, so I can read in the browser and do other stuff.
- _Microft 7y agoAfaik there are tools that use Alternate Data Streams (ADS) to store metadata for files (on NTFS drives).
