This is what I am looking for. More and more I think that filetags is not the right thing, because most of my important files are under (HG) version control, change the file name frequently is not a very smart thing then. I found https://github.com/gunther-bachmann/emacs-dired-annotator Which looks very promising, although right now I have difficulties make it to work (in git master 7bf17ceee8c, may 2022) and opened already some issues on this github page If someone is also interested in that package and want to join... Uwe -- Warning: Content may be disturbing to some audiences I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the ban of Russia from SWIFT. I support the EU membership of the Ukraine. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/
