Tags for files

[FedosovS]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Good day, dear developers!
I use Google Translate, I apologize for possible inaccuracies in the wording.

I propose to consider the option of adding tags for files and folders in Explorer. This will allow you to quickly and conveniently search for files or folders, regardless of their location in the directory tree. Something similar is implemented in the Windows Explorer alternative - the "Files" program, or on MAC OS Finder. The ability to search for files by tag by simply selecting this tag from the list, the ability to search by two or more tags (files or folders on which all selected tags are installed should be selected)...

I call a tag any unique identifier... a tag... a flag... a hashtag...

Scenario when this would be used?

Search by name in Explorer is a very outdated feature, and if you do not write a tag in the file name itself, it is extremely difficult to use this method.
This can be useful for all users who work with large catalogs of files, presets, various settings, pictures... whatever.
I am a designer of cabinet furniture, I use the Basis Furniture Maker program. The specificity of the program involves the storage of a large number of similar files that store information about the 3D model, but in each file the configuration of this model may differ. Thus, a large number of folders with different models in different configurations breeds. Working with a project (which is the result of combining different models) you have to go from folder to folder many times, each time following the tree structure of the explorer, which takes a lot of time and attention. And in my work, it would be a huge bonus to be able to select a tag from the list to display a certain selection of files to which that tag is applied, and then, by selecting additional tags, additionally filter the data, leaving only those files or folders on which all selected tags are assigned. I'm sure this system will be useful to many users...

Supporting information

All modern websites of online stores allow you to select products using filters. I imagine something similar when I talk about a way to filter files by one or more tags.

You can contact me if the offer seems interesting to you or, on the contrary, not clear. I will gladly try to expand my thought.
