The Tags folder feature is nice, but I think it would be really nicer if it was implemented directly using MacFuse (which offers an Obj-C framework btw). A Tags volume could be created on the Mac desktop and would appear as a real filesystem to the kernel, which allow many interesting features: for example, dropping a file to a subdirectory could automatically tag it with all tags correspondings to is parent directories.

After more reading, I think this could even be an independant project, using NNTagging.framework. I might have a deeper look at this in the future, but never coded in Obj-C before... :( Anyway, if you are interested have a look at http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/DEVELOPER_OBJC_HOWTO for a tiny example.

We'll have a look - but I think browsing the folders using a spotlight search everytime a folder is clicked could be noticably slower than a static structure.
Thanks for the link though, perhaps it'll come in handy in the future :)
