Wow! I've been looking for something exactly like this for a long time. I am a motovlogger (which is someone who rides a motorcycle while vlogging) and I generate tons of small videos that I've always struggled to organize. I'll need to use random videos from months and months ago sometimes and it's so easy to lose track of them when you have thousands upon thousands of small short video clips.

One question/request I might have is if it is possible to attach a general note to a specific file. It's helpful to know what a video is about without having to watch the whole thing.

FWIW KDE does metadata for files, eg comments/tags/star rating, that you can see in the dolphin information panel and search using their standard toolset.

(You can see the add comment "link" in the images here https://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin/File_Management#Information .)

Thanks for the feedback. We are already working on a feature allowing saving description to files.
