This is a system for managing tag <-> file associations. It consists of
two files, tags and sha, and a script tdb.
sha stores lines of sha1 hashes and filenames, separated by two
spaces, as emitted by sha1sum(1).
tags stores lines of tag names and sha1 hashes, separated by a
tab symbol.
tdb manipulates these files to perform tag based searches.
There's no install. Just drop tdb in a directory with your files,
and launch it from there.
tdb is writen in rc(1) shell script. It's provided by plan9port
Generate sha file:
$ ./tdb hash photos > sha
Tag a file:
$ ./tdb tag photos/joe.jpg joe friend night beer my_car
Untag a file:
$ ./tdb untag photos/joe.jpg friend
Look for files:
$ ./tdb get joe
photos/joe.jpg
photos/crash.jpg
photos/hospital.jpg
Combine it with sxiv(1):
$ ./tdb get landscape | sxiv -it
- Tagging files is too much work.
tdbmight require slight modifications to work on plan9- tree walk code in
hashfunction might break if your directory tree is too big.
