In fact, for tab-completion to work nicely, most tags should perhaps be listed. Ideally the application in question would do the pruning/clustering as suited to the task at hand, but in a FUSE plugin for applications (mostly) unaware of SetFS, we do not have the luxury of that. But for 'ls' output the whole list can be unusably long. Perhaps a reasonable compromise (for the default pruning) would then indeed be to display all except the frequency one tags, unless needed (being the sole missing tag for some file from the search set). Well, it demands research and testing... -- Tuomo
