Regarding file system tagging, take a look at Leaftag - http://www.chipx86.com/wiki/Leaftag. Development seems to have stagnated unfortunately, and it doesn't seem to work for Ubuntu (I've not been motivated enough to spend more than about 20 minutes on it though).
Something more immediately available is Tracker - http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/ - which apparently does tagging. I'm not sure if anyone has written a Nautilus plugin to access the tagging functionality though (yet!)... There are apt repositories for Tracker on the website, so you can install it via Synaptic/Add-Remove Programs/apt-get. -Kris On 3/11/07, Andrew Black (delete obvious bit) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Paul Sladen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > > Could you describe a few examples/use-cases of what "manage" might > > mean to help to narrow things down. > > I am not the original poster, but I could chip in to say what I would like > in a similar vein.
