Imagine you have just added a small image directory to your file pool and started
Stratus.

	$ ls

	hawaiiansunset.jpg  alaskasunset.jpg  rudiwall2.jpg
	rk15.jpg            reon59.jpg        blackmagewall.png

Here we are in the Stratus base directory (or mount point), and all the files in
your file pool are shown here.  Everything is either a symbolic link or a
directory here.  The links point to your real files, and the directories
represent tags.  You can apply a tag to a file just by moving the link into
that directory.

Okay, time to start organizing this stuff!

	$ mkdir sunset
	$ mv *sunset.jpg sunset/
	$ ls

	sunset/            hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset  alaskasunset.jpg:sunset
	rudiwall2.jpg      rk15.jpg                   reon69.jpg
	blackmagewall.png

	$ ls sunset/

	hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset  alaskasunset.jpg:sunset

Looking through the files, you notice that the alaskasunset.jpg file is
actually a sunrise.  So much for truth in advertising.  You don't feel like
renaming the real file, but you do want to remove the sunset tag from it.

	$ rm sunset/alaskasunset.jpg:sunset
	$ ls

	sunset/            hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset  alaskasunset.jpg
	rudiwall2.jpg      rk15.jpg                   reon69.jpg
	blackmagewall.png

	$ ls sunset/

	hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset

rm'ing the file from the sunset directory removed that tag from it, but the file
is still untouched and still in the base directory.  Now you organize a couple
more things.

	$ mkdir reon_kadena rudi_bakhtiar "8-bit theater"
	$ mv rk15.jpg reon69.jpg reon_kadena/
	$ mv rudiwall2.jpg rudi_bakhtiar/
	$ mv blackmagewall.png "8-bit theater"/
	$ ls

	reon_kadena/       rudi_bakhtiar/             8-bit\ theater/
	sunset/            hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset  rk15.jpg:reon_kadena
	alaskasunset.jpg   reon69.jpg:reon_kadena     rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar
	blackmagewall.png:8-bit\ theater

Okay!  The makings of progress.  You notice your beautiful wallpaper of Rudi
Bakhtiar just happens to have a sunset in it, you decide to add that tag to it
too.

	$ mv rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar:sunset
	$ ls rudi*

	rudi_bakhtiar/  rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar:sunset

In addition to moving files around between directories, you can manipulate the
tags associated with them by renaming the link itself.  Now look at your sunset
collection.

	$ ls sunset/

	rudi_bakhtiar/             rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar:sunset
	hawaiiansunset.jpg:sunset

Not only are your two real sunset pictures there, but there's a subdirectory
in there too, showing additional tags you can filter by.

	$ ls sunset/rudi_bakhtiar/

	rudiwall2.jpg:rudi_bakhtiar:sunset

The files in that directory must contain -both- sunset and rudi_bakhtiar tags.
You can make this as specific as you want.  If, one day in the future, you're
looking at your huge collection of 10,000 files and want to find "that funny
picture from your cousin Fred's wedding in Hawaii", as your wife puts it to you,
you can just:

	$ ls Fred/Hawaii/wedding/funny

	fredwedding_0056.jpg:Fred:wedding:Hawaii:funny:male_stripper

Unlike even the most well-organized standard directory you could come up with,
order doesn't matter to Stratus:

	$ ls funny/wedding/Fred/Hawaii

	fredwedding_0056.jpg:Fred:wedding:Hawaii:funny:male_stripper

But back to the present.  You open up one of your files in your image viewer...

	$ irfanview reon_kadena/rk15.jpg:reon_kadena &

And realize that picture was actually of Rosa Kato.  Whoops!  Easily fixed:

	$ mkdir rosa_kato
	$ mv reon_kadena/rk15.jpg:reon_kadena rosa_kato/
	$ ls rosa_kato/

	rk15.jpg:rosa_kato

Moving it from one directory to another changed the tags for you, exactly as you
would expect, and regenerated the filename to reflect the tags that now apply
to it.

I hope this brief set of examples helps you get started using Stratus!
