TagSpaces VS Paperless-ng

Either way, will definitely be keeping an eye on your app, it seems ducking cool ;)

TagSpaces – Your versatile file organizer (version 50504): organize, tag and browse your files, photos and documents

Take a file. Add [awesome] to the name. There. You've tagged a file, and you can search for it with your desktop search / fzf / etc. Switch system, copy it anywhere, it works. You can do this by hand. Or, if you like clicks and drag-n-drop, use TagSpaces. Or, use tss.

The UNIX filesystem has traditionally been a graph for ever. I haven't looked at details for a couple of decades, but definitely all UNIX/POSIX/Linux filesystems operate on a graph model.

A distinction I used to make when I was teaching this stuff: on your filesystem tree, on Unix names (labels) are on the links (arrows), while on DOS/Windows names are on nodes (boxes).

If you want to explore a tag-based system, take a look at https://www.tagspaces.org/

The quickest workaround – and the most satisfactory one to boot – is to abandon Windows Media Player. Use a digital asset management app like TagSpaces.

TagSpaces: TagSpaces is a cross-platform tagging and organizing tool that can help you tag and manage your files and folders. It supports various file formats and can be used with local and cloud storage providers.

If the naming convention is different, or you'd prefer to go the tagging route, tagspaces may be your best bet. It can use standard tags in the file, or a sidecar file (file with the same name, but different extension next to the original file) to keep tags with the file.

Agreed. Why not use the filesystem as the database that it is? Modern filesystems support tags or extended attributes that could be used to implement tags. Failing that, just encode tags in the filename. Document management tools could then use the filesystem as the source of truth.

Paperless-ngx is the successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects, both of which are now in public archive. The original projects are not dead, but rather, continued through the open source community!

As others said I'm not sure if the name relates to Angular but it's worth saying that the frontend is in fact Angular

How good is your IT department? https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng

Paperless-ng ist wohl tot (https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng/ ist seit dem 16. Februar archiviert).

paperless-ng / paperless-ngx has been nice for storing PDFs. I'll probably throw this year's documents into that as well.

A SaaS for managing personal documents. The closest I have right now (not SaaS) is paperless-ng[0], but I have to self-host it, unless I missed a really compelling solution.

I have a sea of documents, both physical and electronic, and it's always a struggle to scan/organize/find them. I'd pay good money for a software/service that manages my documents, from scanning to archiving.

If it's a PDF manual then I prefer paperless-ng or paperless-ngx. Then it's searchable and you can filter by 'correspondent' which I normally put down as the manufacturer, label is as a technical manual, etc.
