What TagsForAll is
TagsForAll is a Windows file organizer that uses tags and descriptions to make files easier to locate. Users can filter by one or more tags, build a tag hierarchy, and open FastTagAccess with a configurable Alt+X hotkey. Selecting a parent tag with only subtags also finds files associated with those subtags. Tags can be added from the Windows Explorer context menu or by dragging files into the app.
Automatic assignment can use file extensions, filename or path patterns, regular expressions, or Python scripts. Directory Watcher can tag new files in watched directories, and descriptions can appear in a popup when hovering over a file in Explorer. Tags and descriptions are stored in NTFS alternate data streams and a local database. TagsForAll tracks file moves, renames, and deletions to update that database; the product page says it can be restored by scanning tagged files. The free version costs nothing and limited to 70 tags, with no other software limitations stated. Removable drives need NTFS to carry alternate data streams with files; the product page suggests archiving with WinRAR for non-NTFS media.
