Tagging Files Is Easier Than You Think
I replied to an anonymous comment on my adeventure about using tags instead of folders for categorizing files.
But it worth repeating here imo.
The comment says:
But "setup.exe and another setup.exe..." is absolutely no problem
(you're still thinking in folders man)
Let us assume we have two setup.exe one for my favorite chess program jose, and one for my favorite browser firefox (as you can guess).
My mental process would be as follows:
label setup.exe for firefox as
setup, browser, installation, firefox
label setup.exe for jose as
setup, chess, program, jose, installation
... and when I make a multi-label filter it's easy cheesy to find each of those programs
for firefox
the tags: browser, setup, firefox
will point to exactly what I want.
for jose similary
the tags: chess, setup, jose
will directly point to the setup file of jose.
...
I'm gonna share all these (and more) in detail but I'm really busy with other stuff.
The only thing I can say for now is:

Neat.Nice catch!
What about setup.exe and another setup.exe?
I don't know how the tagging program you're using works but file>open might really be useless in some programs, no?

tagging my files made my life easier than ever.
- I don't use my destkop,
- I rarely (if ever) use windows explorer
- I never use windows start button (and start menu, and quick launch)
- I never use any program shortcuts...
Labels: folksonomy, tag2find, tagging, taxonomy
