Mounting search queries

[kskyten]

Thanks for making tmsu, it's really neat.

IIt would be really nice to be able to mount specific queries instead of having to go through the fixed structure of the current mount folder. For example:

tmsu mount python_books 'ext=pdf and python'

would mount all pdfs tagged with python under the folder python_books. Another idea is to have named searches in the configuration, so running tmsu mount mount_point would have all the configured searches under the mount point. Ideally it would also be possible to rename the tags and queries folders so that they are hidden.

That's an excellent idea. This is definitely something that I can look to add.

Perhaps we could even define entire hierarchies or define a syntax for naming the search results in the mounted filesystem like mkdir 'ext=pdf and python >> python_books'. Most of the usability comes from the above example already though.

^ If you were going to do that, ln -s 'ext=pdf and python' python_books would be the canonical method, AFAICS.
