[Feature Request]: File/Media Type Search #574
Description
Checklist
- I am using an up-to-date version.
- I have read the documentation.
- I have searched existing issues.
Description
this issue is from the tagstud.io roadmap
Being able to search for files by file type (i.e. extension, like jpg, png, etc) and media type (image, plaintext, etc) would be helpful, especially for untagged files.
Solution
Two new search methods:
filetype: - a search method that searches by each entry's suffix (this functionality may be able to be done by using path:)
mediatype: - a search method that searches by extensions included in each MediaCategory's extensions property
For example, searching filetype:jpg would only show files with a suffix of jpg (NOT jpeg, though that could be added), and searching by mediatype:image would show all files with an extension that is included in _IMAGE_SET, _IMAGE_RAW_SET, and _IMAGE_VECTOR_SET.
