It captures an interesting moment in the history of information management. Historically we've relied on folder hierachy to organize large collections of digital files. You can still use folders in Photo Gallery, but tagging and search have become the power tools for organizing and finding things. That's how things work on the web, and Photo Gallery is a leading example of how that workstyle can play on the desktop. en Sun, 26 May 2013 08:21:19 GMT Sun, 26 May 2013 08:21:19 GMT Rev9 Re: A tag-oriented tour of the Windows Vista Photo Gallery
I've been playing around with EverNote, which also adds the ability to 'autotag' elements based on their content. Always thought that the OneNote team missed a trick here.

Does EverNote deal with the question of how the info you create and collect locally can relate to stuff you create and collect on the web?

Over on my blog we've been exploring the whole question of where metadata lives,  and how it travels (or doesn't). These are pretty deep and important questions, I think.

Example: I tag my blog entries locally when I write them, but when I post I also inject bookmarks with tags into del.icio.us. I do that partly for my own personal information management reasons, and partly for the social effects that happen on del.icio.us, and in the network of services that connect to del.icio.us.

Photo Gallery's "truth is in the file" strategy[1] is an enabler for that kind of strategy.

Sorry about that.

It's OK for me on IE7 and FF in XP and Vista, also FF on OS X.

Nevertheless I'll start a WMV cranking as well.  What with all those photos in the video, it's a /long/ compression cycle.

Same here, on two of my machines both running IE7 and Vista.

OK I see the problem. Since last I checked here, the entry was regenerated with a View SWF button that is erroneous. In this case I couldn't use SWF because the filesize exploded to 300MB with all the photo data. So I made an FLV instead, which is what's linked to from the word screencast in the writeup. That link is:

I don't think we have a way to automatically make a View FLV.

Meanwhile I have completed the WMV which you can get here:

Sorry for the mixup.

Navigating by tags is an amazing system, it just works so well. I'm hoping that for the next Windows version, the radical step of ditching the file/folder/drive structure is taken. Navigation by tags works just as well, but ads a lot more. I'm noticing that for WHS, they're at least getting rid of drive letters with their hard disk pooling system. A sign of things to come?

Good video guys, I'm looking forward to more overviews like these of stuff that's included in Vista.
