Provide a Tag Cloud for searching tagged files
I tried TagSpaces today and I think you have the beginnings of a great program with the exception of the search mechanism. I've been using file tagging software for nearly ten years and I've learned that the search mechanism is the most important part. The best implementation I've used is in Tag2find http://www.tag2find.com/. Unfortunately, Tag2find is no longer maintained and won't work on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. I've also tried Tagged Frog and I currently use Tagg Tool.
I suggest you download and install Tag2find on a 32-bit Windows computer, tag a bunch of files, and try the tag browser. Notice that the most common tags appear larger in the tag cloud. Each time you select a tag, the cloud shrinks to show only the tags available in the matching subset of files. If TagSpaces had this, I'd drop Tagg Tool and switch to TagSpaces today.

I strongly Support your suggestion. I am a Taggtool and tagged frog poweruser and I do have more than 8500 tagged files. Search functionality is what makes the difference.
