Welcome to an update about ongoing Tagsistant development. What's new in Tagsistant 0.4?

1. Can store any kind of object (file, dir, devices, symlinks, fifos, ...)
2. Can manage reasoning from the filesystem (Tagsistan Manager no longer needed)

Tagsistant 0.4 directory structure is divided in 4 main areas:

mountpoint/
    tags/	# where the tagging happens and can be queried
    archive/	# where all the objects are stored
    relations/	# where reasoning relations can be browsed
    stats/	# where the filesystem informs about its internals

The archive directory will store anything you put inside Tagsistant: files, directories, symlink(!!!), devices (really?), named pipes (you must be joking...). You'll be able to access your files from here even after removing a file from any tag-directory.

The tags directory is where all the magic happens. Each tag is a directory here. You'll no longer find the 'AND' and 'OR' operators. Tag's AND-sets can be created simply appending tags, like in:

mpoint/tags/T1/T2/T3/

To merge the result of two AND-sets use the '+' operand:

mpoint/tags/T1/T2/T3/+/T2/T5/

When you're done composing your query, just append a '=' sign and you'll see the results:

$ ls mpoint/tags/T1/T2/T3/+/T2/T5/=/

Tags apply to each object immediately after the equal sign. So in:

mpoint/tags/T1/T2/T3/+/T2/T5/=/dir/subdir/file

You can tag dir but not subdir or file: they will inherit it.

This is how the situation looks right now:

This table will be updated as long ad the development go on.
