hi

is there only the file comment to tag some files ?

in a scenario to copy 23TB of files and folder , the only way to tag these files before copying them is file comment ?

can i know where does total commander store the file comment data?

and why don't add a tag feature ?
could be very useful
thanks

can i know where does total commander store the file comment data?

It is stored in either a descript.ion file or a files.bbs file in the current directory - the file is marked "hidden". Which of the two types that is used, and the coding if using descript.ion is configured in "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Operation" -> "File comments".

You can use Windows' file tagging system for supported files by right clicking the file and choosing "Properties"

Use Ctrl-Z to enter comment for one file.
Look at this for more than one file

Perhaps try VirtualPanel, just "copy" the files there (actually just link to the files) and then copy the "files" from there when you want to start the actual copy operation.
