Another related topic is Emblems, I think they should be considered at
the same time.

I don't know if anyone really use Emblems, but I think the should be
used as tags (this is fiction):

- tag some folders with the 'Music' emblem', making them 'music
folders' 
- When searching for files in tracker you can then restrict to these to
the music files
- When saving a music file, music folders are shown first
- ...

I actually read this proposition somewhere, maybe in this list...
