But one would still have to write the tools to extract/display/manipulate these tags. Why not make the tools work with any filesystem; use the extra tag feature of those filesystems that provide for it and an alternative .description type file for those that don't. The interesting advantage of using a .description file is that you can use your everyday text editor of choice to do description updating. -- ___ _____________________________ eric pareja (xenos AT maharlika.upm.edu.ph) \e/ [ Philippine Linux Users' Group ] Linux User #8159 http://counter.li.org _v_ [ Python Power! ] [ Debian Rocks! ] [ Unwitty Saying Here! ] [] Software & \\\\/ Free the books! http://www.bookcrossing.com/referral/pusakat ] Freedom .\\/_// http://www.livejournal.com/users/pusakat | www.upm.edu.ph/~xenos _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
