I’m curious how one would use ROAM_TAGS in terms of searching or aggregating based on those values. A basic example is just related to ROAM_TAGS. Let’s say I’ve marked a bunch of recipe files with #+ROAM_TAGS: recipe. How would I then search for all the files with that tag? If that’s not possible, …

I am not completely sure in my answer, but that could be a starting point. Partly answer to your question is in org-roam documentation: [image] Tags (Org-roam User Manual) tags are firstly for elist functions and commands, they allow to add metadata to the file…

There is a nice roundabout way to do what you want to do using the Hugo website generator. Hugo understands Org Mode files by default. If you store all your org files in the content folder of a Hugo setup, then you can create tags as you see them fit, i.e. #+title: This is a recipe #+tag: recipe …

ox-hugo uses #+HUGO_TAGS, I don’t think this is an Org-mode thing. Afaik, Org-mode uses #+filetags. It’s easy to add more sources of obtaining tags (e.g. you can also add a source to include items from #+tag). Basically if you don’t see the need for tagging, then you don’t really have to worry abou…

The original question wasn’t about tags specifically as much as it was about properties, and how you might use them to do searching/filtering in a org-roam workflow. I suppose I discovered along the way that I don’t know what you would do with roam_tags once applied, but the question is maybe better…

So it seems like you want to be able to perform bulk queries on your Org-roam files. This seems like a task that org-ql already neatly solves. [image] ethan: I don’t know what you would do with roam_tags once applied I’m not sure either, since I don’t tag manually at all. But I’m happy to he…

@jethro org-ql looks very promising! Thank you for the tip. On the matter of roam_tags: so when you organize thing into sub directories that isn’t necessarily for the purpose of “tagging” the files within, but just file system organization? You never query the tags in any way?

@jethro I wonder if you have something you could share in terms of how you use org-ql with org-roam. I’ve installed org-ql, but am having a hard time understanding how it can be configured to look at the files in my org-roam notes directory. I have things laid out as: ~ |--org |--notes ;; org-ro…

I don’t use org-ql myself, my workflows are much simpler (and perhaps suboptimal). I just write down things that seem important, and try to make sure they can resurface when they should later on. I don’t query tags in any way, yes. They are just a visual guide in the interactive commands for me. I …

if you already use org-roam then you can search the database org-roam generates. for example to find all files with tag “people”. (setq-local db (emacsql-sqlite3 (expand-file-name "org-roam.db" org-roam-directory))) (defun my/org-roam-files-with-tag(tag) (emacsql db […

I’m also curious how you create files as it appears from this thread that there’s now easy way to create an entry in a subdirectory.
