  • TMSU

    TMSU lets you tags your files and then access them through a nifty virtual filesystem from any other application.

    Tons of programs and different DEs do this already. KDE does this with Dolphin, and check out TMSU. Or just do it yourself with extended attributes which is used by SELinux. It's great that you have this excitement, but Google before you write.

  • tagctl

    KDE uses the user.xdg.tags extended attribute and Baloo, the file indexer. It's integrated into Dolphin, Gwenview, and probably some other KDE apps. If you want to add/remove tags via the command line, I created tagctl for that.
