This is when you just think about labels, but EA can do so much more. 
You should, for example, be able to sort on application or file-type. 

In short you not only want unlimited labels, you want unlimited types 
as well (where the 'label' is a type, application is another)

With that much information per file you need to really think about a way
you can represent it in KDE that is much more powerful then the way MacOS does
things.

Anyone up to a challenge?
