File metadata management - application wanted

ford prefect · 2014-09-12 09:17:27

Hi folks,

i have a lot of pictures and other files, that are lying around, i guess we all have. the problem with sorting emerges ever again.
sorting in folders results in a very strict and static structure, which is good sometimes and sometimes not.
so i am on quest to find a software which can manage and store metadata to files, and give me file sets based on different "views".
support for own "keys" would be great, and accessability from commandline appreciated.
for fotos i tried digikam, but a missed the ability to feed own keys in, to which i can sort it afterward. tags dont quite do the same thing for me.
i would be glad if there was a broader, more general solution to this, so if i took time, music, videos and other stuff would be naturally includable into such a metadata management.

thanks for reading and comments in advance

I made a program called "mebitag" for this a long time ago. You write the tags yourself in an XML file, but then it provides a GUI to browse and filter by tags.
