TAG_COLOR - Implementation Suggestion: TAG COLOR Search Functionality in Pantheon Files

[myhousece]

Problem

I have added color tags to several files and folders. I have tried to locate these files using the search bar and exploring the file manager, but I have not been able to find a way to search or filter files by these tags.

Proposal

I would suggest implementing a search or filter functionality in Pantheon Files that allows users to locate files based on color tags. This would significantly improve organization and efficiency when managing large amounts of files. I have not been able to locate such a function. If it already exists, I would like it to be more visible. Adding a tag search functionality would allow for more efficient organization of files and improve the user experience when searching for specific documents and folders.

Similar to what MacOs uses.

#1124 is similar. The color tag is now an attribute of the file like the modification date, size etc so implementing a search or filter on file attribute other than name is needed which is possible but not trivial. Probably wan't be looked at before completing the port to Gtk4 now.

I hope it will be implemented in the near future. It would be very useful. Always hoping that it will work out! ;-)
