Tag files and folders

#1 Post by Scott_Y » 19.10.2011, 18:19

Please add tags for files and folders. The tags could be added, deleted, edited, and searched. The tag data would be stored in a separate database for security (so as not to be sent to others in the file properties). Windows Explorer allows tags to be added only to certain file types, so it is not a good option.

The question is how to display the tags. XYplorer shows tags in a dedicated column of the detail view. http://www.xyplorer.com/release_9.90.htm#tags.

prcontact suggested what may be a better solution in a post in the General Discussion, and I am highlighting it for the XE beta by quoting it here:

"The user can define tags for files (Like in Gmail). The file path and tags are stored in a separate database. When the user switches to the tag view he / she can see the files under each tag (looks like folders)." viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3066&p=10171
