This is essentially what Gvfs is for except basically nobody uses it, at least in the ways you describe, because forcing non-FS things into the shape of a FS usually doesn't work very well. So instead Gvfs gets used for relatively simple things that naturally map onto the FS concept well, like mounting archive files, browsing FTP, etc.
- rbanffy 4y agoGvfs would allow a folder of messages to show the continents of, say, an IMAP server as a set of files, but what I would like is the reverse - to have a different presentation for a folder full of emails.
