Add Tag w/o Modifying File? #358

Open chivalry opened 8 years ago

chivalry commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to tag a note without updating the modification stamp of the file? I'm doing it manually right now, and may write a script to make it easier, but perhaps there's something already.

If not, this would be a feature request. Often I don't tag notes right away and go back and update a bunch of note tags. But when I do so, I don't want to update the modification stamp. The note itself hasn't changed, so to my mind, the tag shouldn't update this.

If you're storing as text files, tagging in nvALT adds metadata to the file itself (currently the outdated OpenMeta), so the filesystem is going to see that as a modification.
