I looked for a tagging system months ago, did fairly extensive research into existing solutions (rather than writing a FUSE layer myself) and TMSU was the leading result. I installed it and it&#x27;s all ready to use.<p>Today, it&#x27;s still all ready to use. I haven&#x27;t touched it. I&#x27;m actually quite happy with the way my filesystem works, I just had this idea how great it would be to work with tag selections instead.<p>The only reason I might still use a tagging system is to tag some files I want to back up manually (if at all), like a 50GB disk image or some temporary big download, but in general I create one or two symlinks a year and I&#x27;m good. The hierarchy works fine.
