<br>So he will enable the filter for jpeg from the menu, and nautilus will<br>display JPEG files only.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>Linux knows the file even if doesn't have extensions.<br>We should use filters like "Pictures", "Music", that is not specific in a certain directory.
<br><br>There's a SoC project with similar functionality in <a href="http://live.gnome.org/EmblemTags">http://live.gnome.org/EmblemTags</a><br><br>I made a concept mockup of the project, see<br><br><a href="http://live.gnome.org/data/EmblemTags/attachments/concept_emblem_tagging1.png">
