Really odd, at Be they thought about the creation of a keyword attribute but they didn't indexed to made it searchable.

BTW, the purpose of the app is to create/show tags ( now you can query for a tag from the gui, see the screen shot page), but you can change it, like to work for MAIL:topic (just an example)

Isn't META:keyw (Keyword) meant for this purpose ?
It's used by bookmarks but nothing prevents it from being used elsewhere. Just like META:url which I put on files I wget to remember where I got them from (TODO: fix wget to do it).

I chose META:label because I used Label too, and the index was in use.
But the script does something that your app don't, like writing multiple labels separated by commas, or the skill to add a new label on the fly ( with Label you have to open the app first, type the new label , close and reusing it as a Tracker add-on)
The script can't color icons, obviously.

>One can query for labeled files like this:
>$ query 'name=*&&META:label=*'

another bash trick, to make a query for every label.

query -e -a 'META:label==*' | while read file; do catattr META:label "$file" 2>/dev/null;done | sed 's/^.*: //g' | tr "," "\n" | sort | uniq | while read query; do touch "${query}"; addattr -t mime BEOS:TYPE "application/x-vnd.Be-query" "${query}"; addattr -t string _trk/qrystr "(META:label==\"*${query}*\")" "${query}";done


>and it'll be fast if you've got an index on it.
>$ lsindex | grep META:label

a question: as I know lsindex shows the indices of current volume, or are there some hidden args to let it work on all mounted bfs volumes?

Well, at least by me. I color everything I work on, FWIW. :}

One can query for labeled files like this:
$ query 'name=*&&META:label=*'
and it'll be fast if you've got an index on it.
$ lsindex | grep META:label
