About the random 2 mil. files you have lying around, the tags you should set should describe not the files themselves, but the reason why you chose to keep those files.
- pgcj_poster 5y agoI have a similar system to GP, and the answer is yes: I will duplicate files that are relevant to multiple projects, with the exception of research papers, which all live together in Zotero.
- megous 5y agoYes. Pretty much. The reason why I'm chosing to store the files is the project they're part of. I don't need them otherwise. If the project is inactive or dead, I'll compress the folder into some archive and delete the folder. If something is meant to be useful for multiple projects it either gets symlinked, or put into its own project. Anyway, I'm not saying tagging as a primary categorization interface is not useful at all. It's just that it has limited applications where it would be definitely more useful than traditional filesystem hierarchy.
