hello great tag2find crew,
i first just wanna say, thank you, thank you for making this program, it owns its good and that while its still version 0.1 or so....this is soooo good!
there is room for improvement but as far as i can see not much
i like the way the UI works and how stuff is done, really smart! and inuative
this program just begs to be used, and such should be with every program
in the past ive used tagg for a while, but that didnt really work..
this is the best ever, screw normal desktop search! (only locate32 is good)
good, time for some points to make out...
the UI, although its very good and stuff, its forcefully white and that does not work well with my settings on my windows box, maybe more ppl are using other color shematics
the catagories, they use standart file extensions, but i cant set .mkv or such for movies (also i would like to add/create/edit the names of these catagories), so maybe the extensions for catagories should be editable, too
the tagbox is quietly useless and annoiingly
maybe a rules base tagging system, lemme explain because im not making sence... what i mean is the following, everything that enters a settable directory gets a settable tag, and when it leaves this folder u can set it to leave the tag on the file or remove it
maybe some file name renaming utility, for when files are wrongly named(this maybe something for a later stage or not at all because of the great tools already out there)
maybe make the actiual tagging process, where the program edits the file with the approptiate tag, loose or incorparated in to the program, now ur just waiting to the program applying the tags. this takes the speed out of the workflow of the program, maybe a progress bar on the bottom of the program window or such, maybe even a tag task list, so that everything gets done even when u keep editing and applying the tags
maybe extension script or the like, like the following example....im using tag2find right now to add genres from a website to movies, if i would use a script it would be done in like 5 minutes, it would be a great time saver
i like the UI, it has tabs and information, still i can remove this if i like, i can edit the interface to my liking thats really cool!
when u have the tag cloud open it still gives me the option to open it (the double arrow) (just a minor thing)
also when u edit the width of the tag cloud pane and then fold it in and get it out again it resets it location, i dont know if this is intentionally
i use NTFS drives and ext3 drives in my computer, i can access the ext3 drive like any normal drive because of IFS drives, but there is no support for ext3 in tag2find, maybe something to add in a far far away later state ( i dont have much data on this ext3 disk, but maybe other ppl do)
same goes for reiserFS and such filesystems (i guess it has low to no priority)
further, i think the data in file and in a database is the best solution, it keeps everything in good order.
something i really like is the speed, im used to tagg and sadly, its SOO slow...but tag2find runs great, although i have to process tame it sometimes, it really runs smooth and sweet!
even if support for this program is discontinued ide use it, hell im sweettalking everyone i know into using this program
i hope i was clear on my points, otherwise feel free to ask for screenshots or extra explanation
my english isnt all that bad, but im whacked and therefor cant really type 100% correct engrish
i hope that i motivated u ppl even further, and hope to be of some use
maybe some points are already made, maybe everything i said has been incorperated in the new version, but even that may be so, these are my experiences using version 0.10.1.3
good luck ppl and keep up the good work!!!
ps thanks to this program and great others i have to spend less and less time doing stuff the cumbersome windows way
