TODO

In Progress

This is the task that I am currently working on.

This is the stuff I hope to work on next.

Windows support
- Evaluate Dokan for Windows support
- Ensure 'repair' file move detection works (as it uses / for root)
Split out API so TMSU can be embedded in other programs
- I'm thinking, now, that the 'storage' layer is already an API. Perhaps it would be better renamed and marketed as such.
- Reposition database layer
- Move core and CLI into separate sub-projects
Facility for converting tags to values
- e.g. '2015' to 'year=2015'
- perhaps via 'rename' subcommand
Fingerprints of directories
- repair is not repairing directories
Testing
- Improve unit-test coverage, especially on 'files' subcommand
- Add benchmarks
Case insensitive tag matching
Issue #23: 'files' is slow

These tasks I hope to work on soon.

Option on 'files' to show tags for files that match query
Issue #20: Repairing a moved file should merge tags
- is this really a good idea? A repaired moved file requires an untagged file which, by definition, has no tags
Issue #19: wildcards when matching tags, e.g. tmsu files she* would show files matching 'sheep', 'sherbet' and 'shenanigans'
- would have to avoid shell globing
Use Markdown instead of homegrown markup
Sort values (maybe tags too) numerically where values contain numbers
Issue #5: meta-tags (make the values the tags)
Issue #22: ability to tag objects within files
- tmsu tag /some/path#bob hat sunglasses
Go Lint
- On GitHub
Code generation
- http://clipperhouse.github.io/gen/
Subcommand aliases and unambiguous shortening
Option on 'tags -a' for listing tags that have values
- should it do this by default?
Consider switching from Hanwen to bazil.org
Replace tag implication functionality with tag relationships
- Implication: A ⇒ B (A => B)
- Equilavence: A ⇔ B (A <=> B)
- Exclusion: A ⇒ ¬B (A </> B)
Improve Zsh query completion
- Suggestion for tags and operators should be contextual
Add recursive option to 'tags' subcommand
Basic auto-tags - provide information already store as auto-tags:
- File size auto:size
- File/dir auto:type
- Modificaiton date auto:mod-date
Man page generation
- Sub-command description and options

These tasks I hope to do one day but are not currently a priority.

Filesystem watcher
Support for whitespace in tag names/values
- Investigate supporting spaces in tag values (issue #37)
- Handle apostrophes in queries, i.e. quoted strings
- Issue #69: Add comma as tag delimiter in --tags form of subcommands
Expanded auto-tags phase 2
- MIME type
- Image dimensions
- video length
- EXIF information
Additional VFS operations
- Tagging file in VFS should add tags to existing entry rather than create new one
- Copying symbolic link from one tag directory to another should add that tag
Way to pull tags to parent directory up or push them down to child files
Storage level operations should ensure database consistency. E.g. deleting a tag should result in corresponding taggings being deleted
