Hope you can help - I am looking to create a file chooser for samples, which can be filtered down using simple tags. I assume that a combination of the umenu and coll objects would be the best way to do this. Please let me know if you can think of a better way, or have tried something similar that may help...

best-method-for-creating-a-file-chooser-with-tags

Hi I made a tag patch browser for my pulse 2 editor using a combination of jit.cellblock to display items this is refereed to a coll to populate. The coll is populated by storing patches matching the tag filter umenu. I also created my own custom tag system using this method (the pulse 2 tags are predetermined).

I am not that experienced so cannot say if its the best method but is working well in my case.

[bach.wordcloud] does a nice work managing tags.

Have a look at the Bach package
(now available in the package manager)

I started thinking about using the system tag in 10.10 and above (maybe 10.9 also), tag the file inside max would be nice too but it's even better if it's system-wide

I found this command line which does a great job in the terminal: 

Now I would like to find a way to use it inside max.

Just sending tag command to shell does not work....
