If you mount a USB key, and it has files in Music/Bach/Disc1, they appear in your journal's object view tagged as 'Music/Bach/Disc1'. They show up in searches for 'Music' and 'Bach'. If a legacy application saves a file to ~/Journal/cute/cats/my-picture.jpg, then my-picture.jpg shows up in the Journal tagged with 'cute/cats'. This is pretty much indistinguishable from being tagged "cute cats", unless you happen to care enough to do ordered searches (young kids presumably would not). --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
