General Software Discussion / Re: Interesting: Tag2Find, Tagging for All Filetypes for Windows

Yes, it's somewhat abstruse. It was the goal though : I wanted something for me, not for "others"; and as I think I said elsewhere: for tags to not be mixed up with other terms, you need to codify them; otherwise, using a search engine will return all the other stuff you never tagged.
By the way, it's probably not surprising that the reasons you described in that old thread, for using filenames, are almost the same as those that I gave. If it's a common problem in a common OS, with common constraints to a solution, then - given the nature of filenames - the solutions are probably going to be few in number and closely similar.-IainB (November 26, 2016, 02:53 AM)
Probably, but analysis I've seen are often not that systematic... :)
