Removing a folder structure doesnt seem like an improvement to me: if I take 3000 files and tag them as LabelX it becomes useless for filtering. Conversely if I use 500 very specific labels for those files (i.e. multiple labels per file) filtering becomes a pain.
- CyberFonic 17y agoDirectories with huge number of files are slower to access. You could look at extended attributes (xattr) feature of most *NIX's. This is user defined information which could easily be used in the manner that you suggest. A modified file manager would be able to handle the additional capabilities. Some music and photo management programs implement something similar so perhaps that could be used as a strarting point.
