For example, `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` +makes a view where the first level is the tags, and the second level is +whatever `podcasts/*` directories the files were in. + +Also, year and month metadata can be automatically recorded when +adding files to the annex. I made this only be done when annex.genmetadata +is turned on, to avoid polluting repositories that don't want to use metadata. + +It would be nice if there was a way to add a hook script that's run +when files are added, to collect their metadata. I am not sure yet if +I am going to add that to git-annex though. It's already possible to do via +the regular git `post-commit` hook. Just make it look at the commit to see +what files were added, and then run `git annex metadata` to set their +metadata appropriately. It would be good to at least have an example of +such a script to eg, extract EXIF or ID3 metadata. Perhaps someone can +contribute one? |
