I cant figure out a use for tagging outside of tagging people in photos, which I dont need to do. All the other things I can think of would be better done with folders, so how are tags supposed to be used that make them better than folders?
They offer a complete alternative to hierarchical folder organization -- one that Apple is likely to use in iCloud.I cant figure out a use for tagging outside of tagging people in photos, which I dont need to do. All the other things I can think of would be better done with folders, so how are tags supposed to be used that make them better than folders?
My tag usage examples:
- In my graphic design projects I often use the logos of other companies (for things like lists of sponsors, or list of companies participating at a conference). All those logo files are scattered in project folders and I often need to use them again. In order to see all of them in one place I tag each file with the "logo" keyword.
- I have a folder containing stock images. Each of them is tagged with keywords describing the content of the photo, making it very easy to find all photos containing a specific object, person or whatever.
