If you find those tag filter or TagTrees handy, you will be very happy
about these features:

What is shown:

1. Notice the file name =2020-03-16 Lunch menu - Trattoria -- public.pdf=.
2. A new level 3 *TagTrees hierarchy* is generated.
3. Within the TagTrees folder "public", the *linked file* is located.
4. From the context menu, *the "filetags" feature is invoked* while the file is selected.
5. In the *filetags dialog*, "-public", "anewtag" and "thisiscool" is entered.
6. The *result is shown*.
   - Notice the tag removal with prepended =-= as explained in [[id:2020-03-18-demo-filetags-tagging][a previous demo step]].
   - Notice that arbitrary tags may be entered and not just
     pre-defined ones from within =.filetags= file.
   - *Changing tags* is *applied to* the *linked file* in the TagTrees
     *as well as the original file*.
     - The linked file does not get moved within the TagTrees to
       update the situation. If you need an updated TagTrees, please
       close the Explorer window and re-genrate a new one.

This is an awesome way of re-tagging sets of files.

Not shown here:

- The same trick to renaming the original file as well
  can be applied to "appendfilename".
