So, if I need to (which I’ll say is rare) I’ll add #LitCrit #TNStsg or some other CamelCase thing to the first few lines. I think amberV mentioned it years ago in a post, but I had to figure it out on my own. Somewhere along the line I learned about MassReplaceIt and my fear of tagging in text files disappeared (TextWrangler works well too). I ended up with a bunch of them after exporting data out of Journler (it put a ‘Tag: xxxx’ line in the header of exported files) and I found them annoying because editing them was a process of open file> edit> save file one at a time. Metadata and taggingĪ lot of my work flow is text based (it was once rtfd, then rtf, and if you go way back, doc and whatever AmiPro file extensions were) These days I’m using a lot of in-text hash tags in the text file for sub-characterizations kind of like MMD tagging conventions. I wrote a long reply to a post and thought I’d share parts here. “Using EagleFiler, I can now stop fussing with organization tools and just get myself organized.Theres’ a nice chat going on the Scrivener boards about File System Information Managers.
