You have two options - the database or the file tree

The database needs properly tagged files - if they aren't properly tagged then it doesn't know what they are.  It can't guess from filename, as everybody tends to name their files differently.

The file tree is just that, you navigate by file name.

A cleverly coded WPS will display information from the one and fall back to the other.

The WPS will, but the database will still display 'unknown' or some such, it will not create and sort virtual tags.
