Feature proposal: using xattr to tag files with querying and such.

[ccellado]

It is very sad that linux has the capabilities for such a system for years, but no good implementation around.

There are lots of problems of course, cp and rsync commands not copying there tags, fs limitations.
But overall if utilizing these tags, aliasing copy commands with appropriate flags, ignoring windows filesystems, it could run on both Linux and MacOS.

Both lack system level, horizontal classification, without the messiness of soft-links and such.

It would be killer feature if Hunter had a special window for querying\searching files based on tags, ability to write them and relocate such files.

Let's have a discussion
