Neat. As a remark, this is how LDAP is structured: entries (files) are "tagged" by attributes (directories) and you access them with the same pseudo-paths which are actually conjunctions of filters.
I must say honestly i'm not so fond of using ordered sequences (posix paths) in place of the unordered sets which they should be. I guess my question is really why you wanted to make a fuse fs out of it (versus say some tag-based filtering script like notmuch). (just for fun is surely a valid answer)
- Spivak 6y agoBecause by making it a regular fs you immediately get support in every piece of software. Every file chooser on your system suddenly knows about tags and gives you a way to query them.
- daenz 6y agoBasically what Spivak said. I was interested in adapting an existing interface (a filesystem) to do the set intersections because it means more software could benefit from it without additional work.
