I'm thinking about getting started on my file tagging project. I use xattr's a lot to classify and tag files for certain projects. I have yet to find an elegant way to find files with specific extended attributes or values of the extended attributes. I hope to make such a program capable of seeking out these files. I also make use of cdargs. I hope to combine the two concepts and extend cdargs by adding a 'selection stack'. Create a stack of files' paths/inodes and keep them in memory as part of the stack. You can then operate on the stack, which recurses to each file in the stack. In case your files you want to chmod/chown, cp, etc are in different paths. It's an idea I took from cdargs' bookmarked directories. I also want to use the stack as a means to quickly backup specific files. Probably useless to most others, but I would greatly appreciate the shortcuts provided.
