TAGS: files filesystem fs fuse python tagfs
I just thought of my ideal file system, where nothing hides and is easy to find (without going through the whole system — either manually, or automatically — find or even the indexed way — mlocate).
The main idea is tags.
When I save a file I want to give it some tags.
Moreover I want to be able to find a file based on its properties, like
- file properties — author, date created, type (PDF/TXT/XML)
- EXIF data — camera name, camera settings
- audio tags — artist, title, year, album, genre
How could it look like?
# ls /home/quake
wikidot/ python/ work/ tmp/ img/ music/
# ls /home/quake/wikidot
work/ tmp/ img/ howto.pdf
# ls /home/quake/wikidot/work
new-idea.txt
# ls /home/quake/work/wikidot
new-idea.txt
So it looks, like it doesn't matter if you navigate to work and then to wikidot or the reverse.
Moreover I want to browse all my music files (having music tag) by author information:
# ls /home/quake/music/+artist/
Britney Spears/ Shakira/
PDF files inside of wikidot:
# ls /homeo/quake/wikidot/+type/pdf/
howto.pdf
This idea will be implemented with:
- Filesystem in User SpacE — FUSE
- Python
- SQLite
- Ubuntu laptop :)
Wish me luck
