The beauty is that the tags stay with the images even if uploaded to Flickr and are searchable in Copernic and Picasa too. (Must try Smugmug today) I don't have any interest, other than as a guy with a lot of jpegs that needed tagged. Cheers.

I've been looking for this kind of app because not all pictures in my computer are tag-able, most of them are GIF, PNG, WMF, lot's of TGA, and JPG files. That, or there's a program that can automatically categorize my pictures using some super-duper-hi-tech AI on image-recognition that I never heard of.

There is another very useful program "Doctagger" which puts its tags into the "keywords" properties in Word and Powerpoint, so they can be exported ok and Windows Search can also find the files faster. Doctagger also puts a tagbar at the top of the doc or presentation, so you can quickly find all docs with that tag. Unfortunately, the author seems to have abandoned Doctagger, so it would be nice if somehow Tag2Find and Doctagger could be combined.

There are some weaknesses to this method, e.g. the tags are only retained if archiving a file to a NTFS file system (they are not saved when backing up files to CD). Unfortunately there is no way around this. Even if Microsoft implemented this in Windows you would still have this limitation. I would LOVE for the Save As dialog to include a tags field, but I don't think it is easily achievable. Some background is needed to understand why. When you click OK on the Save Dialog the dialog tells the program what you want to name the file. It is up to the program at that point to actually create the file. Therefore it would be hard for the extension (or even Microsoft) to implement this. I only solution I can think of at this time would be to catch the filename from the Save As dialog and watch for the file to be created (using ReadDirectoryChangesW), once the exists then the tags can be saved to it.

Tag2find gets a four star for the idea, but only one star for the implementation. That's my opinion at least.

One item I would add to your wish list is integration into the Save As dialog so adding tags becomes as natural as giving a file a name.
