What is your method of “folksonomy” tagging for files on your local machine?
I don't use tagging. I use search. A good search engine built right into Windows since Vista, and it has rarely failed me.
- Vista has some support - Tag files and save searches in Windows Vista
- TaggedFrog for XP - Add tags to files in Windows XP using TaggedFrog
- Tagging files in Windows XP (and why you’ll ditch Google Desktop)
Interestingly, none of these are my methods.
I use locate32.exe if I have to find files.
Gave up on windows indexing a long time back.
I might even do a Cygwin
, bash
, find
and even grep
to get a file.
