I'd alluded to a "file tagger" last night... Here's the one I was aware of... https://github.com/oniony/TMSU It sets up a SQLite database in a .tmsu directory, and allows attaching metadata via labelling files. The metadata lives in the database, separate from the files, so it has certain aspects of, erm, fragility. Furthermore, they've got a neat extension whereby you can mount the database as a filesystem via FUSE so you can explore the tags looking for files. Unfortunately, that has a strong propensity to fall over leaving the special filesystem pretty mussed up. So it's more interesting as a concept than as reality. Neat idea, nonetheless... -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
