Announcing Leaftag<\/a>, our desktop tagging framework. This is an evolution of the original prototype we created, originally named fstaglib (isn\u2019t leaftag just so much better?).<\/p>\nThe main part of Leaftag is a library called (oddly enough) libleaftag, which interfaces with the tag database. It\u2019s GObject-based, and the API is quite small. It can tag anything with a URI.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s tagutils, a small app used for working with tags and files. It is able to tag and untag files, list all known tags, list all files with a specified tag, and manipulate tag properties (such as icons and descriptions). It also includes some symlinks that provide shortcuts to common tagutils functions (tag, untag, tagls, tags, and tagprop).<\/p>\n
