+## upload events
+
+trigger a script/program on each upload  like so:
+
+```
+-v /mnt/inc:inc:w:c,mte=+a1:c,mtp=a1=ad,/usr/bin/notify-send
+```
+
+so filesystem location `/mnt/inc` shared at `/inc`, write-only for everyone, appending `a1` to the list of tags to index, and using `/usr/bin/notify-send` to "provide" that tag
+
+that'll run the command `notify-send` with the path to the uploaded file as the first and only argument (so on linux it'll show a notification on-screen)
+
+note that it will only trigger on new unique files, not dupes
+
+and it will occupy the parsing threads, so fork anything expensive, or if you want to intentionally queue/singlethread you can combine it with `--no-mtag-mt`
+
+if this becomes popular maybe there should be a less janky way to do it actually
