 #### Metadata sidecar file
 
-Metadata associated to items are stored in YAML sidecar files of the same name, with the `.yaml` extension appended.  The use of plain text sidecar files allow for easier editing without any special tool in a unified manner for multiple types of files (pictures, videos, ebooks, ...).  The metadata contained within item files are simply ignored.

 #### Filering query
 
-A query field allows the user to search through and filter the items of the current directory and its sibling items recursively.  This search field allows restriction on tags in a hierarchical manner.  It should feature some sort of autocompletion, as well as an adjacent list of tags that are available for filtering.  Positive as well as negative filtering should be possible, allowing the user to exclude some tags from the search results.
