Hm. How could this be used efficiently for real work? I think because many of our tools are already file-based, this is not the greatest idea for uses cases that require structure. If anything tagging should be used along side hierarchical layouts...Or users should follow the standard of what /etc, /home, /lib and friends are used for. They are essentially tags in directory form.
Take TMSU's example command:
tmsu tag summer.mp3 music big-jazz mp3
We could come up with the same behavior WITHOUT an additional program:
mkdir ~/music/big-jazz/mp3/
ln -s ~/Downloads/summer.mp3 ~/music/big-jazz/mp3/summer.mp3
Could easily make this into a shell script.
Just my 2 cents.
- dmd 12y agoThis quickly becomes cumbersome when you have dozens or hundreds of tags, and doesn't address tag values.
- sbierwagen 12y agoThe other problem is when a file can be in multiple categories: say you're sorting photos into folders based on who is in the photo. alice.jpg goes into alice/, and bob.jpg goes into bob/, but where do you put groupshot.jpg?
- xorcist 12y agoBoth? Or a separate category? Any grouping system would let you do both.
