    <title><![CDATA[Allow tagging of files using ext3's extended attributes]]></title>
    <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/1689/</link>
    <description><![CDATA[ext3 allows you to add extended attributes to any file. Why not let us use this for tags in Nautilus? We could be warned that moving the file between systems would destroy the tags, or be given an option of saving them to a file to be imported back later. Then we could search our system by tag and have something very close to a database file system.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[Systems like Tracker's or F-Spots are no good because they can't be accessed by other programs.  We need a system-wide tagging system that is not reliant on a specific program or a specific filesystem.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Agree with Endolith. This rationale lacks in consideration of many things. By "obsolescence" this should consider be secondary to #9560.<br /><br />It's like say there's no need of the car since there's already the wheel.]]></description>
