You cannot escape them, they are turning up everywhere, in clouds, in post footers and in your face, no doubt about it, tagging is as trendy as it comes.你逃脫不了他們,他們正在轉向隨處可見,在雲中,後尾,並在你的臉,毫無疑問,標註,是因為時髦,因為它的到來。 I came across an application named tag2find that lets you tag your file system elements, every file and folder .我偶然看到一個申請命名tag2find讓你的標籤檔案系統中的要素,每一個文件和文件夾

tag1

Now I admit to being a little disorganized when it comes to naming conventions and keeping files in a sensible location.現在,我承認自己有點雜亂無章,當談到命名慣例及備存檔案,在一個合理的位置。 I try I really do, but when I’m busy I tend to save things with names like “asdf” or “qwer” and just hit the ok button letting the application save it in whichever folder it calls home.我嘗試,我真的這樣做,但是,當我忙碌我傾向於節省事物的名字,如"航空自衛隊"或" qwer " ,並點擊OK按鈕,讓應用保存在哪一個文件夾,它要求回家。 Now and then I have a tidy up, which means renaming things to something meaningful and moving them to a sensible location.現在,然後我有一個整潔了,這意味著改名的事有意義的,並動之以一個合理的位置。 So you can understand why I might think file tagging would help me a heck of a lot.所以你可以理解為什麼我會覺得檔案標註將有助於我有趣了很多。

So I downloaded tag2find and gave it a try, it comes with a non-standard installer, something that always makes me nervous, I don’t like programmers who I have never met stepping outside of the relatively safe MSI system and doing who knows what to my PC.所以,我下載了tag2find ,並賦予它一種嘗試,它包括一個非標準安裝程序,而這是永遠令我感到緊張,我不喜歡程序員但我從未見過走出的相對安全的微星制做,誰知道什麼到我的電腦上。

The second unsavoury surprise was that the application runs as a service with a set of client applications as a front end, once again I was dubious, I don’t want a service installed eating up my system resources when I am not even using it thankyou.第二個不受歡迎的驚喜的是,程序運行時作為一個服務了一套客戶端應用程序作為前端,我再一次被質疑,我不想一個服務安裝吃了我的系統資源時,我什至不使用它回饋。

The install completed with no problems and I quickly performed a right click on a file I had sitting on my desktop and chose to tag it, I was surprised when a rather large window opened up.安裝完成,沒有問題,我很快就表演了,然後右擊一個文件,我坐在我的桌面,並選擇標籤的話,我當時非常驚訝相當大的窗戶打開了。

標註

Here we can see the tagging interface, it seems to work pretty well but I would much prefer to have something smaller open initially, possibly with a control to expand it to the full window.在這裡我們可以看到,標註接口,這似乎是工作不錯,但我還是喜歡有一些規模較小的開放的最初階段,可能與一種控制,以擴大它的目的在於充分窗口。 I’m tagging a file, I neither asked or needed to see the tagged file preview window.我標註一個文件,我既沒有要求或需要看到了貼有標籤的文件預覽窗口。 Anyway, you can see that you add tags over in that odd little pop-over box to the right, the application then previews other files with the same tags over on the left side.無論如何,你可以看到你添加標籤,超過在這方面多一點彈出以上的票房,以正確的,適用當時的預演其他檔案與上年比標籤上的左下方。

So once I had tagged a file I decided to try and find it again using nothing but tag2find.所以有一次我曾貼有標籤的一個文件,我決定設法找出它再次使用無關,但tag2find 。 Here is the search window.這裡是搜索窗口。

搜索

Does that window remind anyone else of Google Talk?是否該窗口提醒其他人的Google Talk的? And just like Google Talk I can’t stand to look at it.就像Google Talk的我再也無法忍受,加以研究。 I chose my font, my windows theme, my background and colour scheme because that is the way I want my PC desktop to look.我選擇了我的字體,我的Windows主題,我的背景和顏色方案,因為這是我希望我的電腦桌面,以煥然一新。 So why do some developers these days decide they know better than me how I like things to appear and go ahead and produce a completely non-standard windows interface?那麼為什麼一些開發商這些天來決定,他們比我更清楚如何,我喜歡的東西出現,並繼續和製作出一個完全不標準的Windows界面? Are they too lazy to make the correct API calls to detect my preferred settings?他們太懶惰,以作出正確的API呼叫探測我的推薦設置?

My cosmetic gripes aside, you can see that the software did the job, it found a file I had tagged with “image” and it found it instantly.我的化妝品抱怨不談,你可以看到,該軟件有沒有工作,它發現一個文件我已貼上了"形象" ,並發現它可以立刻。 I cannot fault the performance.我不能錯的表現。

While I think file tagging is a great idea I cannot help but feel that tag2find doesn’t do the job in an elegant fashion.而我認為,檔案標註是一個偉大的想法,我不能幫助,但覺得tag2find沒有做的工作,在一個優雅的時裝。 It just feels awkward the way this software works, I really did have high hopes that it would be a boon to me in keeping my files organised, instead it just gets in the way for me, I need something like this software but I need it streamlined.它只是感到尷尬的方式,這個軟件工程的,我確實有很高的期望,它將一劑強心針,我在保持我的檔案有組織,相反,它只是捂著蓋著的方式對我來說,我需要這樣的軟件,但我需要它精簡。 I would love to hear our visitors comments about this piece of software, please feel free to bash me if you think I am being too harsh.我喜歡聽我們的意見,遊客對這個作品的軟件,請隨時打壞我,如果你認為我太苛刻。
