> Hi, I have a bunch of files in various project that have non-descriptive names, but I don't want to change the file names, nor the file contents. It would be nice if there was some way I could display my own description of the file next to the the file listing, say in dired. Do we have any kind of extension, ideally with dired integration, that provides some of kind of file metadata system, or interacts with a third party metadata system?
Oh yes, I do that all the time, that is my main thing. I have too many documents, too many legal entities, employees, reports, and it is not possible to work with the file system only.
System is fully functional, though it requires personal guidance and patience to be installed. Once installed, it works fine, it would fully satisfy your needs.
RCD Notes & Hyperscope for GNU Emacs, The Dynamic Knowledge Repository:
https://gnu.support/gnu-emacs/rcd-notes-for-gnu-emacs/index.html
RCD Notes for GNU Emacs is Dynamic Knowledge Repository designed as envisioned by Doug Engelbart. Backed up by PostgreSQL relational database, RCD Notes provides features such as people management also known as CRM or Customer Relationship Management, ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning, WRS or Website Revision System and Hyperscope Dynamic Knowledge Repository. It uses any kind of Emacs major modes and any kind of lightweight markup languages for editing and writing of any of elementary objects.
Here is small video demonstration:
https://gnu.support/images/2024/10/2024-10-14/2024-10-14-01:48:10.ogv
It has tags, tag types, each tag can have tags, different language,
related person, rank, system is actually extensible on the go, it has
85 different rather fixed properties for each elementary object, plus
unlimited properties, with unlimited property types, types, subtypes,
all extensible and customizable by user. It's fantastic, it is also
good money maker system for me.
