- didgetmaster 5y agoI agree. Unfortunately, right now the 'well structured relational database' is completely separate from the file system. Didgets was designed to combine the two into a single coherent system so that you can't update one without the other. By 'combining' doesn't mean I did what WinFS tried to do and just take a filesystem and a database and stick them together somehow. I built a completely new system from the ground up that incorporates traditional filesystem features (block allocation, stream management, metadata control, folder hierarchies, etc.) with solid relational database features (schema, tags).
