I agree, while this ought to be useful, it’s obtrusive and not transparent. Not an ad, btw, but I bought the shareware Tag Everything, which is just a shell extension that doesn’t tag for the sake of tagging… it’s there IF you want it, not whether you want it or not.

I agree with your comment klein, and that may have been a better title yes.

I don’t hate this piece of software, the concept is a good one and the application works, my problem with it is the fact it just doesn’t do the job efficiently from a usage point of view. I am sure that many people will use it and find the interface acceptable, personally I won’t.

The idea of putting usabilty above functionalty is not a new one but it seems to be something the developers of tag2find have overlooked. They have been very clever for sure, it does a good job of tagging and retrieving using tags, it just doesn’t do it in a way that feels comfortable to me.

So an appropriate title for this one might have been “Should you Tag your files and folders using tag2find?”

This comes across as a recommendation in the title. Why recommend it if you hate it so?
