Depends very much on the problem domain. It's really easy to do this on macOS.
So for example I have a top level `Documents/docs` directory. In this everything is recorded in format `yyyy-mm-dd Title.ext` format. I have a saved search which says "give me everything untagged". I will select each thing that is untagged and then tag it!
- plagiarist 3y agoI think they're asking something different, what if you think of a brand new tag after you have already tagged things for years? It is potentially a lot of effort to retroactively apply it.
- smallerdemon 3y agoYeah. All systems like this have to account for ad-hoc additions. Otherwise you will often jam a few squares into some circles just to accommodate your categorization system.

- dvas 3y agoI ran into a similar situation a while back now, I have my version of a zettelkasten system, where I put a tag/ list of tags at the top of the note file (timestamp being the note name). Combining this with something like ripgrep allows me to search the note file contents by those tags, and keywords. A tag I used, didn't seem like the right one for the content as it matured and grew over time. This meant creating a tiny script which would take the name of the tag and the note name, in which it is being used and look at backlinks and forward links and rename the tag based on usage.
