Thanks for the great software! I tried it today, and I love the intuitive interface.
I've seen in several places that people have requested the ability for TaggedFrog to continue to recognize files even once they've been moved to another folder (instead of getting the angry red exclamation mark). I would like to also request this feature.
But this is great software. It does exactly what it promises to do, and nothing more, which I love.
Actually, if this feature were to be included in future versions of the software it should be an option to activate it or not. I try to explain. It is true that it seems a great feature, but I guess that for that feature to work it would need a service permanently working to keep tracks of files and when they are deleted/added/moved.
But if you have thousands of documents (like it is my case) that service would demand a lot of CPU resources and your whole computing experience would be slowed. I tell you, it is not a guess, another tagging software alternative, works with a service like that and when I tested my computer was veeeery slow.
Exactly, I know “another-tagging-software” you are talking about 
and I don’t like such heavy solution.
I was sure you knew :-D
I agree with Julian that this should be an optional thing. But for people who have not turned ON this feature, may I suggest that you provide some kind of "find and replace in path" feature.
If my files used to be at
E:\Photoshop\Mask\Misc
And then I move the whole photoshop folder to
D:\Graphics\App\2D
then it would be nice to search for all the files that are tagged as Mask and once I get the result, then I can just select all the files and do a "Find and replace in Path"
This is a solution I need, too. I was about to offload some audio samples to a different drive, but realized this would break all my tags. Allowing a batch rename of file paths would be an easy solution to implement.
I also want to thank you for this great and free tool and want to sign the petition for more batch support.
As said before I have not yet found a workaround for moving many files at once.
I would also like to edit more than one file - like copying them to another folder.
Also, I can only see the number of selected files in that status bar at the bottom when viewing images in thumbnail mode.
EDIT:
I just found out that you can copy multiple files to another folder by just dragging them from TaggedFrog to the folder. This even works for dragging them into another application.
It is a shame such features are not documented or access to such a documentation is not idiot-proof. This is bad for promoting the program btw.

I am trying to understand why this feature would consume a lot of cpu time.
The operating system can trigger an event whenever a file is moved, changed, edited, or deleted.
The handler would only execute when the event is triggered.
Why would this consume much cpu time ?
thanks

It is really depends how you use your file system/how often you create/delete/move the files – the application should track the whole hard drive, and sometimes it could decrease performance. But I am agree that in most cases it works, that’s why this feature is already implemented for 2.x
