TagSpaces Pro

Perspectives - alternative views on your folders

Folders usually contain files grouped by a different purpose (e.g. photos from an event or for a specific project). For such cases we offer the so-called perspectives, allowing you to set a custom view for different kind of tasks you want to perform with your files. The Pro versions offers the following additional perspectives:

Mapique — simply place files and folders on a map, allowing you to annotate geographic areas or plan and document trips
Kanban — here the sub folders of the current folder are represented as columns in a Kanban board, the files from the sub folders can be your tasks.
Gallery — optimized for browsing and viewing images and photos, having a built-in presentation mode

The Kanban perspective

Turns sub folders into columns
Turns files in sub bolder into cards
Allows you move cards and columns with drag and drop
Enables you create private boards countless personal kanban processes.

Custom thumbnails for folders & files

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, so we added the possibility to set a custom preview image for every folder, which describes its content best.

Set a preview image of every folder
Set a custom thumbnail to any file, ignoring the automatically extracted preview image
Navigate with ease through folders and folders by recognizing their content

Extract thumbnails

In addition to the file previews (thumbnails) for images and videos available in the Lite version, the PRO version supports thumbnail extraction for:

PDF documents, using screenshot of the first page
Office documents in ODT, ODP, ODS, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX format, using the embedded preview image if available
Notes in HTML format using the embedded screenshot, if created with the Web Clipper
Bookmarks in URL format, using the embedded screenshot, if created with the Web Clipper
Ebooks in EPUB format, using the integrated ebook cover image

Tag groups which stick to the locations

The location tags are saved in the location's folder. This is useful if you share the folder on Dropbox for example. This way anybody having access to this folder and using TagSpaces will see the tags saved in this location.
