Take a look at the readme…

wtf why??
I don’t know 😔
Take good care of your pets, if you are using this filemanager
I’ve thought a lot about stuff like this and this is pretty cool but this basically looks like just a tagging system for files, which already exists in many ways. A true graph based file system wouldn’t just be an overlay over a directory tree. Would love to see some kinda filesystem dedicated to graph representation, where each file is a node with multiple edges.
I’m always on the lookout for something like this. tmsu is pretty close, but have you found anything better? There’s a paupacy of software for Linux in this space, and I don’t understand why.
That kind of storage might somewhat work for media files and simple tags if you only view the files in the tag-aware file manager but what about other applications and files?
If the path of a file changes every time you add a tag or remove one that means the path of files is very unstable so you can’t e.g. reopen the last used files in other applications easily. I also don’t think this scales to the billions of files on a modern system. And of course any files required by an application to be in a specific place will be screwed up completely by this.
Maybe the tag directories should be hard links to the actual files instead?
Why stop at a tag-based file manager? Why not a tag-based filesystem?
Like tmsu? Or did you have another in mind?
I was thinking BeOS’s BFS since that was the closest I knew off the top of my head, but tmsu looks awesome. I love that simple command line interface around it.
I don’t see how the tag => file path will be workable. As you add and remove tags, your actual file system is going to go strait to hell. Dear god I don’t want to think about what that would be like to browse from the terminal

I barely use GUI apps, but beyond that my only strong adverse reaction is to cancerous Electron platform. So: why the hard no specifically on the Python GTK bindings?

Been there. But, while I have a preference for statically compiled languages with minimal runtime-linked libraries, when it comes to GUIs, the horses are already out of the barn, right? So I don’t sweat it as much for software I’m getting from the distribution’s repos.
