Whiteboard

Yee4oo wanted to tag files with arbitrary key-value pairs. How would this work?

[Yee4oo]: I'd like to browse files using Boolean search. So there would need to be a "search by tag" feature. For example, to search for files with tag1 and without tag2 you could enter "tag1 and -tag2". Or if you want to search by an "author" key, you could enter "author=some-name".
    Using tags would require new save dialogs, though, so we could tag files as we save them. Ideally, tags for file types with meta data would be suggested automatically.

[Yee4oo]: See http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/pages/tagfs.html for some ideas.
