How can OS X "tagging" be used very effectively for the designer/developer/manager?

Question

macOS

Good day dear "makovody".
Who uses the toolkit "tags" and information structuring in OS X?
How effective was it recommended to use these "chips" of the OS for work:
- designer
- developer
- manager?
Well, for example, does it make sense to "tag" each project with its own tag, if it is already in its own folder?
How best could you dear recommend cataloging and structuring work data, projects, files for the above-mentioned specializations?

Answer 1

At first I thought to use tags. But then - it's more convenient to scatter them over the base folders and put them in Favorites

Answer 2

I actively work with tags and can give real examples of use.
I'll clarify right away. If you store junk and store extra files, using tags is a bad idea. Tags are a different ideology. The main message is that the folder stores what should be in it, in a common heap, without subfolders.
I started learning tags from the images folder. All images that get to my computer go to this folder and are stored there in a common heap. Next, the images are assigned a tag (Document scans / Screenshots / Etc.) In the display settings, grouping by tag is set. This is much more convenient to work with than with subfolders. It is possible to expand the category completely. For a designer, this is the perfect workspace.
By the same principle, documents are stored in "documents". The file is assigned a project tag. Some images, video files or anything in their respective folders may have the same project tag. With this approach, I get access to all the necessary files on one tab of the finder, grouped by file type.

Answer 3

I put tags and set them even before the start of their official appearance in Mac OS (there was such an opportunity, in particular, I tagged program files to quickly launch them), but I haven’t found much benefit from this lately.
Sorting by folders is easier and clearer.
For my taste and suggestions in the search have become worse in Mac OS lately.
I would prefer that the system would have the same effective search as in Evernote for example.
Therefore, I try to keep most of the information in it. Precisely because of the efficiency and convenience of working with the search.
