Sorry if this might be obvious but how can i add tags to files in the file browser??

is it possible to read out these tags in a patch? would it be possible to use these tags in the database patch from andrew benson from example?

At this point you can only tag snippets in the File Browser. We hope to add further tagging functionality down the road.

However, you can tag patchers, by using the 'tags' attribute of a patcher itself. Just open the patcher, open the patcher inspector, and edit the tags field. These will show up in the file browser.

It would be helpful to see a more flexible tagging system for the file browser in the future. This would help with searching and organization. Collections are a step in the right direction.

I would love to be able to tag video files.

Is there some progress on this?

+1... Would still love to use the file browser to organize media files by BPM, artist, genre... etc.

File browser brought us one step closer to an in-house, searchable, tag-friendly database system, but I would love to see it go ALL the WAY!
