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

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.
