Additionally, I tend to manage files a lot through the user of ranger, which works perfectly well for the traditional directory structure. Ultimately, if there was a way to implement the desired system into something like ranger as well, that would be nice.

Duplicate data is the job of a file system, ZFS handles this, there are others as well. Tagging should be the work of a filesystem but nobody really does it well yet if at all, you want hydrus-network for that.

Also I'm a lifelong Windows user.

Hydrus. I pair it with ZFS to compress and maintain my database integrity.

Anyway, seems to me like something not very low level that probably couldn't be implemented into other things and would only exist as its own program/interface.

You moron.

>couldn't be implemented into other things
It's literally just a database with a nice frontend, eventually they're going to add an api to it but that's not really necessary since you can just access the database directly.

I regret helping you, you're ignorant and ungrateful.

Didn't check, thanks for pointing it out. I take back what I said.

>I regret helping you, you're ignorant and ungrateful
So because I'm looking for something specific and am listing my wishes, I'm ungrateful? Bitch you don't know what I think, go fuck yourself on a giant tranny dick faggot.

I mean hey, why not? Symlinks not a terrible option as a bare minimum fix to the pre-existing system.

Holy shit you snowflake motherfucker. I said "samefag", big fucking whoop. It's not a major insult, I was just fucking around. Welcome to imageboards you bulldyke. Are your feelings THAT fucking hurt because I jokingly said "samefag" because of two almost identical posts in quick succession?

ALL I fucking said was, and I QUOTE:

"samefag

Anyway, seems to me like something not very low level that probably couldn't be implemented into other things and would only exist as its own program/interface."

Wow! So I briefly looked at it, appreciated the suggestion, and went on to mention a quick thing I was looking for that I didn't see in it, with the hopes that you'd have another solution to that! Great, what a piece of shit asshole ingrate I am!

Go jump off a bridge.

macOS

For media files and some other formats Hydrus is nice if you don't mind having the program as the sole method of locating files.

I'd mostly be talking about images, and as you see above Hydrus has been mentioned a few times. I'm looking into it, but would prefer something that is lower level and capable of being called and used by other applications.

ZFS is a good option for deduplication if you want to take the lazy approach of putting the same file in multiple places.

MacOS is the only OS with native tag integration. Windows was almost the first consumer OS with them when Longhorn was hot shit but they scrapped WinFS and the whole tag relations concept, it took like 10 years before anyone else did it and it was Apple, nobody has copied it yet either for some reason.

Forgot this.

Some file types support tagging, like mp3, jpg and png. For images you can use exiftool or gthumb.

For me, it's the hydrus network with ZFS combo.

all I want is hard links not being second order citizens

I tried writing a program that could do this a while back as an exercise. I didn't get that far, but I tried

ln dir1/file dir2/file
