SIT-Tagger

SIT-Tagger is an app for browsing tagged files.

For now, it consists in an image browser app, that allows to set custom text tags on any image file, and then list image files matching checked tags. The tags are saved in a local SQLite database.

Other apps reusing the same database will be added, and support for video files will be added.

It also comes with a command-line tool to manipulate the tag database.

Captions

SIT-Tagger lets you write text captions for files. In addition, any #hashtags you write in the caption are transformed into actual file tags. This makes tagging files easier while letting you comment your files.

Command-line tool

SIT-Tagger comes with a command-line tool to manipulate the tag database.

These 2 commands set tag foo and unset tag bar on some/file.jpg:

sit-tagger-cli set +foo some/file.jpg
sit-tagger-cli set -bar some/file.jpg

Combined in a single command:

sit-tagger-cli set +foo -bar some/file.jpg

It's possible to query the list files tagged foo:

% sit-tagger-cli query foo
/tmp/some/file.jpg

Or show the tags of a file:

% sit-tagger-cli show some/file.jpg
/tmp/some/file.jpg = [foo]

List all tags:

% sit-tagger-cli list-tags
foo

Rename a tag:

sit-tagger-cli rename-tag foo foonew

List all files:

% sit-tagger-cli list-files
/tmp/some/file.jpg

Remove all tags from a file:

sit-tagger-cli untrack-files some/file.jpg

Install

Install with pipx install sittagger.
