Idea #3698: Tracker, tags and nautilus

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #1689: Allow tagging of files using ext3's extended attributes.
Written by hokum the 7 Mar 08 at 10:40. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Tracker has a command-line tool to manage tags in different files, but it is not comfortably to use it from terminal.
It will be wonderful if tags can be managed in nautilus and shown in it's list view column.
I've found some scrips on python and ruby to manage tags in nautilus, but they do not work correctly and there is no decision to view tags in nautilus

Yes, I tried it too. Sometime the scripts work and sometimes not.
I think this is the reason. I found it on buglist:
"If i create some new files, it can take some time for tracker to index them. During this time, i'm not able to tag this file. Ideally, tracker-tag would add the file to the tracker index if i request to tag it." (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/156704).

I would like to be able to tag every file (also hidden) in my system, to find it again. (also to become family to the system; I am a new linux-user).
There is a youTube-Video "Nautilus 2.22 + Tracker tags integration" that shows tagging video-file in nautilus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ5YyMsLtyE). I can't find out how he managed it. That's what I should like for each file (equal trackered or not).
Sorry, English is not my native language.
