| Post subject: | Tagging software? |
I'm not sure if such a thing exists, but I have a large collection of music, photographs and video clips on my Mac, which I really want to organise. At the moment, I've split them into folders by topic, but one file could relate to many topics. For example, one photograph I have is a landscape at night, so I want to tag it as "Landscape" and "Night", and somehow be able to see all photographs with the same tags. I believe iPhoto and iTunes can more-or-less handle the photography and music tagging respectively, but is there a solution for video clips, please? Thanks, Peter. |

Smart folders? I'm pretty sure you can add keywords to files - I've seen Pages asking me for some keywords for a file. So if you do that then you could create Smart Folders for files with certain tags - |

Thanks, Nick. I've had a quick look at Smart Folders and it seems to do what I need with no unnecessary software. Peter. |

Upon closer inspection, I can't seem to get Smart Folders working the way I want them to. I have all of my photographs in a single folder and have added Spotlight Comments on the information window, with keywords such as "Landscape" or "Ireland". When I try to set up a Smart Folder, which is a completely new thing to me, I have told it to find Spotlight Comments containing "Landscape", however it does not find any. Does that make sense? Peter. |

It might also be worth noting that iTunes can handle some video formats... |

Spotlight comments. Good overview here: http://www.macworld.com/article/58012/2 ... ments.html With the added advantage that you can search for tags using Spotlight, obviously. |

Thanks for all your help guys. A combination of Nick's and SAughton's methods seem like the best solution. Thanks again everyone! Peter. |
