Overview

Tags are stored in the local SQLite database (userData/fildos.db), not in the filesystem. Each tag has a name and one of the six brand accent colours:
ColourHex
Strawberry#F26D6D
Bubblegum#F286B4
Mango#F9A85C
Blueberry#6E9BEE
Mint#4FC9B8
Grape#A585E0

Applying tags

Right-click any file or folder and choose Tags from the context menu, or use the Info panel (⌘ I) to manage tags for the selection. Tag dots appear on the right side of every row in the file list.

Tag Files view

Click a tag in the sidebar to open the Tag Files view — a filtered list of every file carrying that tag, regardless of where it lives on disk.

Persistence through moves and renames

When you rename or move a file inside FilDOS, the database path references are updated atomically via remapPaths. Tags, recents, and folder view preferences all follow the file to its new location.
