Do you have thousands of scarce metadata files to search through (videos, images, non text formats) ?
By solving this problem with a file system we allow users to choose the file manager and thus the UI of interfacing with the tags.
Running the file system:
tagfs -m <mountpoint> -s <source_path>
example fs root:
- all (default tag)
- file1.mp4
- file1.2.mp4
- file2.1.mp4
- file2.mp4
- tag1
- tag2
- file1.2.mp4
- file1.mp4
- file1.2.mp4
- tag2
- tag2
- tag1
- file2.1.mp4
- file2.1.mp4
- file2.mp4
- tag1
- basic tagging
- renaming tags
- remove tags
- remove tag from file
- save file
- recovery of a file's tags on rename/move/inode change | portability of the save file
- configuration for showing what tags and when (always show all tags even if empty, usefull for tagging new files)
- configuration for where to locate untagged files (fs root or maybe some default folder)
