Search and catalogue images

I noticed this giveaway a bit late, and the 84mb download is still happening over my slow broadband.

So I am adding this feedback hoping that the feature I ask for is already implemented.

I want to be able to Search for images and catalogue (tag/categorise) them. By default, programs like Picasa index all the images in the file system and I don't want that. Instead, I should be able to point Zoner to a folder and it should then allow me to search within that set of folders for specific file types/names/dates, and allow me to add some descriptive labels/tags to multiple files in one go. The files itself can copied to some new location or allowed to remain in the original folders, but I should later be able to retrieve them from a central interface based on the tags I had added.

This means that Zoner should not cache/index all images in my whole file system, but it should index all my custom tags for fast retrieval. The metadata may or may not be retained in the image file location. This kind of batch tagging makes for a very efficient image filing system and people will love it, as they don't need to move around images that have downloaded from the web or their camera/scanner into the default system locations.
