tagtrees seems to require geeqie

[ginabythebay]

Trying out filetags and tagtrees for this first time, I get this:

filetags --recursive --tagtrees
INFO Creating tagtrees and their links. It may take a while … (exponentially with respect to number of tags)
INFO Number of links created in "/home/gina/.filetags_tagfilter" for the 2554 files: 2574 (tagtrees depth is 2)

raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'geeqie'

I installed geeqie and the error went away. It seems like I should be able to run tagtrees without geeqie though.

By default, filetags /assumes/ the presence of Geeqie as file browser. It is possible to override this default by the flag `--filebrowser PATH_TO_FILEBROWSER`. If you don't want to point to one file browser explicitly, you set `--filebrowser none`; e.g. ```bash filetags --recursive --tagtrees --filebrowser none ``` as outlined when running `filetags -h`. Though, Geeqie is helpful not only for eventual tagging of images (like .png, or .svg), but equally displays the first page of .pdf, and symbolizes .zip archives, too. So you can use it as an interface to time stamp and tag the two latter file types as well. Norwid

Furthermore, geeqie is one of the few tools that allow rather simple to invoke keyboard shortcuts. This way, I tag via t, invoke appendfilename via a and create TagTrees via T. You notice, that I don't use modifier keys here. With Thunar and other tools, you always need to find free shortcuts and use modifier keys.

With the implementation of #16, I plan to introduce defaults that may be less irritating such as "no file browser by default" which would spare you this irritating experience you have reported here.
