Create OS-level tagging compatibility #54

We cannot extend OS load/save file dialogs. But we can crawl/monitor the folder tree for newly added files (when saving), and present them for further tagging/mapping. This can also be delayed and performed in a blockwise manner. Loading via tags is already supported by tp.py but could also be integrated with typical file starters or OS-file finders via plugins/extensions.

Hashing known paths to detect new ones.

Immediate cross-platform launchers are launchy and Cerebro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_desktop_application_launchers
