This tool is part of a tool-set which I use to manage my digital files
such as photographs. My work-flows are described in [[http://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/][this blog posting]]

In short:
For *tagging*, please refer to [[https://github.com/novoid/filetags][filetags]] and its documentation.
- For *tagging*, please refer to [[https://github.com/novoid/filetags][filetags]] and its documentation. It's
the most important part of the whole concept on how I manage files.
See [[https://github.com/novoid/date2name][date2name]] for easily adding ISO *time-stamps or date-stamps* to
files.

integration of external tools, see [[https://github.com/novoid/appendfilename][appendfilename]] (once more) and

Here is [[https://glt18-programm.linuxtage.at/events/321.html][a 45 minute talk I gave]] at [[https://glt18.linuxtage.at/][Linuxtage Graz 2018]] presenting the
idea of and workflows related to appendfilename and other handy tools
for file management:

- Alternative implementations of the =filetags= concept:
- [[https://github.com/beutelma/filetags.el][GitHub - DerBeutlin/filetags.el: Emacs package to manage filetags in the filename]]
- With [[https://github.com/protesilaos/denote][denote]], Protesilaos
Stavrou implemented a conceptually related approach to manage notes
within an Emacs buffer. With ~dired~, this method equally may be
applied on files, too.
- A research platform for testing file-tagging on all platforms: [[https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/][tagstore]]
- This happens to be an important part of [[https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/downloads/Voit2012b.pdf][my PhD thesis]] in PIM.
- Not maintained since 2013 any more but surely still a cool
starting point in case you want to get a flexible tool when doing
research with tagging interfaces.
- Good resources for tagging software in general

- If you do like filetags but you prefer the syntax of [[https://www.tagspaces.org/][TagSpaces]] for
adding tags to file names, you should check out [[https://github.com/jgru/filetags][this filetags fork]].
Maintenance is limited though. Please notice that my other tools
working with tags do not support TagSpaces-style either.

I am using [[http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/][Python PEP8]] and occasionally some ideas from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development][Test Driven
Development (TDD)]]. I fancy Python3 with [[https://typing.python.org/en/latest/spec/annotations.html][type annotations]], although I'm
not using them everywhere at the moment. Starting with 2025, I began
to use help from Claude.ai which is a huge improvement, given my lack
of programming practice and knowledge.
After all, each of my tools was developed because I needed its
functionality and could not get it elsewhere - at least to my
knowledge or taste.
