Way back in the days when "delicious" was just "del.icio.us", I had assumed that everyone had finally caught on that Ontology is overrated.
I can tag on-line web links, blog posts, questions on stackoverflow.com, and all kinds of web-centric miscellany, but this very basic concept still seems to be missing (or hideously crippled) in Windows?
If you use "tagging" for your local files, what do you use?
+1 for Windows search. Could not live without it. No need to add any extra metadata. – uSlackr – 2012-03-08T14:39:20.167
That makes sense, but how do you search when the content is mp3 files or images? Tagging allows you to actually attach descriptions to non-editable files. – dreftymac – 2009-07-22T17:28:04.360
@dreftymac:
Cygwin: find /path/to/base/dir -type f -name *.mp3 | grep fileNameRegEx
; or create a index of mp3 files withlocate32.exe
