ZDNET Shows KDE Dolphin File Tagging to Cut File Searches in 1 Step

1 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jul 13

Summary

  • KDE Plasma’s Dolphin lets users tag files directly from the right-click menu, giving one file multiple labels for faster retrieval.
  • Tags work like relational links: clicking a tag in Dolphin’s sidebar pulls up every associated file, even when filenames do not contain the searched term.
  • ZDNET says the feature helps reduce folder-hopping and clutter, with support also available in Windows and Apple file managers but not Android’s default app.
  • One limitation in Dolphin is that the Edit Tags window closes after creating a new tag, though entering several comma-separated tags at once avoids the extra step.
