Hello,
I have a similar issue as the article writer. I work in 3D visualisation/animation and we have multiple texture archives which are sorted by applying a filename structure and putting them into specific folders, e.g. x:\nature\plants\tree_d_1024r_n.jpg (d= diffuse, 1024=resolution of the longer side, r=rectangular, n=non-tileable)
However, i think that a tag-based system would be much better to sort all our stuff (i spent roughly 20% of my worktime searching for specific files). Our files are currently hosted via samba on ubuntu linux.
My question: Is there an EASY, fool-proof way of using tags to sort our archives ?
Thanks in advance
