First of all, thanks for creating such a great tool, good job.

The export function currently exports very limited information.
Can I export more information such as the last tagged date?
Meaning the tag is tagged on a file on which date.

Thanks in advanced.

I have tagged all my files using tag2find, but since I do lot of new file creation activity and copying of teh files on my PC at that time it doesn't occur to me that I have to tag these files, its only later by end of the day it strikes to me that I have tag the files. But I can't make out which files that will need tagging.

Feature request:
Searching of non tag files 

Thank you, yes, this workaround came to my mind...but meanwhile the problem even has risen.
I am doing a backup of my files every second or third day on a SATA-mirror inside my PC resulting in the effect that I now have 3 versions of one file in my database... DataHDD, MirrorHDD, USBHDD... this make the application quite unusable

Hi, at the moment all NTFS volumes are monitored and all tagged files are shown. What you report is actually really a problem which for now can only be solved by detaching the USB drive after the backup.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Hi

I'm in the midst of reorganizing the way I store my information, and after searching for an application online and being dissatisfied with the other tag services (taggedfrog etc), I stumbled upon Tag2find. After watching the tutorial videos, I liked the implications this application could have for my efficiency when working with my files. I installed it and tried to test the application by importing a small sample of files, but for some reason the added (and saved) tags won't stick.

This becomes apparent when I test my tagged files by searching for the them by using the little floating field, but the only thing that shows up are the tags I added previously. In the bottom of the pop up window (where the files are supposed to appeared according to the tutorial) I see the following:


Found 0 files

The associated files (Jpeg pictures that are located on my desktop) are nowhere to be seen.

When I try the other method of adding files (At first I used right click/''quick tag this file'') by moving them into the Tag2find window manually, I get similar results. I repeat the process of adding tags, and saving them, but when when I go back and click on the file I just tagged, and look at the information in the lower part of the screen, I see the following:

Size
..
Last modify time
...
Attached tags
<Unknown>

I don't know if the ''unknown'' bit is significant, but I figured it was, because the tags are added in the upper field. I can find all my tags in the ''Tags'' Column, between the ''file'' and the ''location''' column.

I hope someone can help me with a solution 

Hi all,

I have a prob with the current Tag2Find-software.
Every morning and every evening I am synchronizing my local files to a TrueCryptVolume on a external USB-harddisk (portability + backup reasons).

Now I found out lately that T2F suddenly had all my files two times inside its database (first the local version, second the version it found on my external USBHDD). I figured out that the reason my lay in the t2f-tracking service who monitors the copying-process and writes another version of the file in its database.
This is a real problem as I always have to check inside the T2F File Monitor to open the correct local file instead of the remote one.

Is there any possibility/trick/workaround to prevent T2F(-tracking service) from monitoring those remote files / the
remote harddisk, whatever...?

Thanx in advance

There's really nothing special about my system.  I don't have any virtual drives or encryption software or anything like that.  I'm just running straight-up Windows 7 Professional on my Dell Laptop.  I can't tag a single file...I always get that error message.  I even created a new folder and set the permissions to Everyone->Full Control and I still couldn't tag any files in that folder.

Could you provide some more information about your system please? I know this error only if there is a FAT/FAT32 or a mapped (network) drive involved, as well as some encryption products that are using shell extensions instead of virtual drives.

Best regards,
Martin

I am getting this same problem on Windows 7.  No matter what file I try to tag, it gives me this exact error message.  It's a real shame because I'd love to be able to tag my files.

Hi,

I downloaded tag2find today for the first time, and installed it. Everything went smoothly until I got to the third step where the installation attemps to start the tag2find service. It was not able to start the service.

I started the tag2find program, and it told me that the service had to be started. I clicked the link, and it tried to start the service again, but failed again. The error says: "Could not automatically start service, the Service MMC snap-in was launched, please start service 'tag2find' manually."

So, I tried to start it manually and this also failed, with an error saying "The tag2find service started and then stopped." Any idea what could be causing these failures?

I am running Windows Vista 64-bit on an NTFS file system on C:\. I am an administrator account on the computer.
