extension for filter files by tag(s)

Created attachment 208221 [details] nautilus-python extension for filtering files by tags I sent a bug to nautilus team asking for a new panel view for filtering files by tag(s), and got the follow answer: - the interface that allows to add tracker tags from Nautilus is not part of Nautilus, but it's an extension - we will not add any additional side pane, since we intentionally trimmed them down to Places and Tree for Nautilus 3.0 - I think the best way to do what you want is from Tracker itself; if the UI utilities shipped with Tracker don't allow you to do this, you should file a bug against Tracker for it So I've made a nautilus-python extension just for this. It's posible something like that in tracker search application? Thanks

(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=208318) [details] > extension for filter file/folders by tag Interesting. How do I test this? Forgive my ignorance, but there is no Makefile.am install information and I tried putting it where they normally go ($libdir/nautilus/extensions-3.0/)

I've updated the file. Just copy and make executable in /home/[userdirectory]/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/. You need python-nautilus to be instaled. Then in right in background or file(s) youl get a menu item 'Etiketa iragazkia' Sorry, I'm not a programmer, sure code may be done more clear and efficent. Also sorry because of mixed languages in classes and variables.

I see yes, it works thanks. It's a bit primitive. I don't think this sort of thing makes sense as a separate dialog but rather as a search filter in nautilus itself. This takes a slightly different approach to the normal extensions. i.e. when you use the "Search" button, it should support tags here.
Right, you're ok, but this is the easiest way I've found to solve it. I don'tknow how to modify nautilus search box. My first idea was a new panel view for filtering files by tag(s), but don't know...
Since this is not something we will be fixing any time soon, I am marking this as WONTFIX. Thanks for the time here and the tool you wrote ;)
