Ok, Lets start from the beginning:
I am doing a PhD in information science. As part of my study I am studying
the use of folders vs. tags. starting from windows vista there is an option
in windows to add tags to office files photos and other file formats. In the
first part of my experience I will run on the participant's computer a
program (the one that I am trying to write:)) that return the ouput: 1000
files in total: 100 in under folder hierarchy of 4, 300 under folder
hierarchy of 3 600 under folder hierarchy of 2. (I wrote this program with
os.walk) then I will teach the participants how to use the tag options and
will ask them to tag their files for the next 2 weeks.
After two weeks I would like to run again the program and now to see how
many tags were added. so the output will be for example: 1010 files in
total: 105 in under folder hierarchy of 4, 305 under folder hierarchy of 3
600 under folder hierarchy of 2. 7 files with 3 tags 3 files with 2 tags 10
files with 1 tag.
So, please help me. how can I get those tags out of the files?
