RFE: Sync tags to extended attributes (Linux), filesystem tags (OSX) or ntfs attributes

[rrottmann]

Recently found your filetags tool and really like it. I am very fond of managing files with tags and automate by assigning tags.
I found syncing the tags to filesystem attributes very helpful.

Maybe this feature may also be a good addition to filetags? That way, the operating system can index the tags and search is more efficient.

A small python script I currently use for this is https://github.com/rrottmann/tag2xattr

As I also use TagSpaces, my tagging style expects "filename [tag1, tag2, tag3].ext", though.

Hi Reiner,
Thanks for the input.

I personally don't use file system specific or OS specific attributes. However, I see the advantage for others who do use features that require those attributes to be populated.

At this time, I will not go into that direction. However, I keep this as an enhancement or feature request so that others might be able to find it and contribute accordingly. 👍
