Hi All.
I have a Mac running Mojave, soon to be Catalina, and I like the way you can tag a file with red, green, etc dots. However, i need more tags than they supply, so I figured I would write my own.
My question is: Is it possible to add items to a filename WITHOUT affecting the file? I was thinking of appending different images to the end of the file, but I wonder if there is ANOTHER way.
Regards
@Michael Cebasek Well you are limited to 7 colors (+ transparent) but you can define as many tags as you want in the Finder.
cool stephan. Thanks for the information. however I want to make myself “clearer” tags. I’m kind strange that way. I’ll try some things and see if I can’t get what I want via a self written ( with a whole lot of forum help ) I like.
Thanks again.
Regards
@Michael Cebasek I understand. Maybe Finder extensions might be the way but it will be a very difficult one.
If that helps, remember you can attach as many “extended attributes” to a file as you want.
You can use Emoji as tags. Might be easier than custom attributes depending on what you want.
Also, there’s a handy command-line tag manager here: https://github.com/jdberry/tag
@Tanner Lee But there are no Emojis to describe porn actions… not that I am interested… well… I’m out anyway!
