I don't think that would scale. The nested directory structure could reach a depth equivalent to the number of tags to support all combinations. Meanwhile with symlinks you only need one folder per tag and it can be comfortably used with file browsers.
- fouc 5y agoIf there was a limit of 10 tags per file, then the max depth would be 10 folders.
- alpaca128 5y agoWith <20 tags per file you could just use the filename and not worry about more than filtering a bit using `find -iname`. With a filename limit of 255 bytes (Linux) that would still be ~12 characters per tag on average. I'd prefer not to worry about such limits though, with some files that don't allow full-text search it can be useful to have more.
