I just saw an amazing video by #TravisAbendshien who told the story behind his #tag-based #filemanager #TagStudio and the journey so far.

If he'd spoken to me a while back, I could have spared him lots of dead ends. 😜

He also evaluated #TagSpaces and he found https://en.eagle.cool/

His preferences are different to mine. I'd never go with sidecar files, one interface only nor with a database.

I love my concept as it is: https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/

My #filemanagement method using 🏷️ is so much more than just a fine solution for #photomanagement. You'll see that it actually addresses many aspects of working with local files in general:

@publicvoit wait, is it compatible with denote?

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

@mms Not without re-writing my scripts.

denote is cool but has made different (and IMHO suboptimal) naming conventions.

So I'd rather welcome a way of changing denote's file naming scheme.

However, I'd say that you have plenty of room beneath denote files. I do manage lots of files with my method but my Org-mode data is not part of it.

Did you know that #Windows (with #NTFS) has native file #tagging built-in?

I describe how it's working and why you will not use it on https://karl-voit.at/2019/11/26/Tagging-Files-With-Windows-10/

It's a fun story to read about how #Microsoft fu**ed up this great idea with their weird implementation.

@murpunktat invited me for a #talk at their #Worklab2023 about #PIM and #filemanagement:
https://karl-voit.at/2023/11/05/worklab23/

Watch the 43min video if you're interested in un-learning some patterns we're using for decades although we should use different concepts instead.

Funny behavioral contrast I've noticed:

On my Windows 11 laptop, my Downloads folder goes back to the day I first turned it on.

On my Mac, I constantly and obsessively empty Downloads.

Exact same size of hard drive on both computers. Different cultural contexts, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

ClickyMcTicker,

@RockyC @maxleibman I just download directly to Nextcloud via WebDAV. My downloads folder is perpetually available from any of my devices.

@RockyC I’m very similar, but with OneDrive. But I do tend to pile up a lot in Downloads, because a lot of things that need to be in a file for a moment but that I definitely don’t plan to keep.

I think for me, at least on the Windows side, Downloads is becoming what Desktop is for a lot of people—a workspace for ephemeral files I need for now but don’t want to put away or organize. My “real” files are all in the cloud (and in periodic local backups).

Nice stuff. Amazing how I just invented work-arounds without actually looking.
