Tagging, rating folders, files
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2023 11:39 am
Hello,
I am looking for a system to put tags,ratings,descriptions... to folders (and possibly files without changing files themselves).
The idea is to have a system that survives folder moves, reinstalls, and will resist years. That most likely means apps that have internal DB are out of the question. So probably the best solution would be to have tags/descriptions written to the folder itself.
I found following thread with Desktop.ini solution:
viewtopic.php?p=58199
This looks like something that would work as it is already integrated into windows and will probably stay there for years to come.
But i have problems finding ways to simply manage those tags. Manually creating Desktop.ini and editing it is tedious and not fast. I am wondering if there is any good solution for tagging and/or can Everything help with this somehow?
Do you have some good solutions yourselves?
