- any file readable by the user can be tagged
- tags are stored "with the files" (in .tag.* file) - in the same dir that tagged file - when you copy directory, you copy tags
- tags are generated + tags are stored with the files -> It will work on any mount point, any computer, any "mount path"
- files can be moved around without losing the previously associated tags (a rebuild-tag option might be required)
- copy/rsync of dirs will not destory tags
- result of "generate-tags" creates local-user-cache database improving performance
- any or all tag can be "mounted" as folder containing matching files = it generates on-demand dir with symlinks (in future - FUSE)
- tagging file generates hash(file) to allow tracking filename change (this can be skipped to fasten the program)
- GUI - initial concept - flask app browser with files as icons and click-and-tag system
- nautilus plugin?
- auto-taging based on EXIF in pictures or mp3 metadata
Help:
~/pyTagVFS/src/pytag.py -h
Tag file:
~/pyTagVFS/src/pytag.py -T ~/pyTagVFS/test_dir/a/ab/photoA -t myHoliday
Read tags form dirs:
~/pyTagVFS/src/pytag.py -r ~/pyTagVFS/test_dir/a/aa/ ~/pyTagVFS/test_dir/a/ab/
Example (not implemented yet):
Mount(symlinks) tag [-t photo] based on localy-stored-cache [ or tags read from [-r dirs]] into [-m dest_dir]
~/pyTagVFS/src/pytag.py -m ~/pyTagVFS/mount_test/ -t photo
