Is there any software that exists for file management where I can search for something based on tags?
For example say I wanted to post a meme or something and I search for "laughing pepe "etc. and it shows me the files that have those tags. Or say I search for "btc wallet .txt" or "passwords.txt" etc. and it'll show me those files.
The real question is: is there any tag based filesystem?

That's ntfs and windows only though Also you need to know the file name. I want something where I could add tags/hashtags that describe the file so I could find it.
Another example if I looked up "programming" and "security" and it'd list all the files that have those tags.

Tags in the filename. Incredibly simple and works with all standard tools.
This, I have a small collection of images around ~10gb that I can search through with tags like an image board.

Hydrus the program is cross-platform but can I take a file tagged on say Linux and copy it onto a Windows machine with the tags intact?
Hudson Evans
Hydrus doesn't work like that. It eats all your files, renames them all to their sha-256 (or 512, not sure) hashes and puts them in neat little folders named from 00 to FF, based on their new filenames. Then inside the program is where you access the database and see all your files. But yes, the database is cross-platform, so as long as you keep the folder structure intact, you can use move seamlessly between windows and GNU/Linux.

Could you share your folder amigo ?
Evan Ortiz
That honestly sounds terrible to me. I'd want my tags to just integrate seamlessly. The KDE approach of using extended file attributes for them seems more reasonable.

tabspaces but It's electron and so slow it's basically unusable.
Carter Adams
TagSpaces has the best solution. It just adds tags to the file names in a way the program can parse and use. It's cross platform because it loads tags based on words in the file name and nothing else. Unfortunately, it has a terrible ui and is written in JavaScript so it's basically worthless.

I use digikam for pictures/webms (though video support is shit) and calibre for books/papers.
