Yes, tags saved inside file properties would be great. But not all files support this.

I have created RecentX that allows tagging of files, folders, programs & bookmarks - http://www.conceptworld.com/RecentX

Though, the tags are not integral part of files etc. But you can group files & locate them back very fast using RecentX.

You guys may be interested.

Thanks for allowing me to participate in this forum.

I just saw this on Hacker News: TagSpaces (http://www.tagspaces.org/).

“TagSpaces is an open source personal data manager. It helps you organize files with tags on every platform.”

The Hacker News discussion is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7726359.

Disillusioned (is it information management that you are disillusioned with, I wonder?) thanks for the heads up!

Tagspaces looks indeed very good.

The first thing I wondered was whether syncing between devices is possible (I expected some dedicated pay-as-you-go web service through which one would do it, as usual).

And yes it can be done, all one needs is Dropbox http://www.tagspaces.org/filesync-tagspaces-and-dropbox/

You’re welcome! (No, one of my intentions for life is to become dis-illusioned).

i was looking at the discussion about tagspaces - it seems that the tags are added as part of the filename of the tagged files, and this was a deal breaker for some.
