and in your opinion Jane would tag every of the 4300 photos with all
the name of the people in the photo?
I don't think that manual tagging will be successful, can be an
overhead more then an help..

anyway "fileless paradigm" is a terrible name, for speaking about
alternatives way to navigate between files.. maybe "pathless" is
better..
