| Jun 1, 2018 at 18:13 | comment | added | rory.ap | This is a great idea. I'm a fan of this type of organization, too. I'm also a programmer so I could envision a program that augments the operating system's file system with a tagging capability. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be too portable. | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 17:24 | comment | added | BrettFromLA | Interesting. However, the folder categories for one paradigm may not work in another paradigm. For example, 10 files might belong together in one paradigm, but in a different paradigm 6 fall into one category and 4 go into fit in another category. I'm not sure this will happen, but it came to mind and I wanted to mention it. I've been a fan of organization my whole life and I've run into that kind of issue plenty of times. (But maybe that's just me!) | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 16:56 | comment | added | KFleischer | Thanks for the tagging idea. That is interesting. But has some obvious questions (how to achieve this with your actual operation system) I can handle situations when a file/folder is relevant to several segments: I'm using a Linux OS which gives me "virtual folders"/links that look like folder but when you click on them, you jump to another part of the drive. i.e. when I have a folder with /pictures and I have a /work/events/workshopXYZ/pictures folder than, I can store those pictures under /pictures in a seperate folder and just link over to them. | |
