I'm using PLUG as a "smart people" forum here -- this is not totally
Linux-centric. This is a question about good information management
practices.
Just having a logical structure of folders for all my files is not
enough -- although it is important.
Making really well-crafted filenames for my files is not enough --
although I do that too.
I need to be able to *annotate* each file with comments like "this is
the final version I submitted to Kurt, and re-submitted on 14 Mar 05"
or "received from Bernadette for use in the foobar project. Destroy
after 1 Jan 2006"
Furthermore, if I could create fields and populate them with values...
as part of my annotation
Finally, all that annotation is searchable as annotation.
There is a very nice package called FileNotes3
(
http://www.filenotes.com/) that does all that on WIndows. I have
used the trial version and loved it. It stored its own little XML
database in each folder. It's integrated will with Windows
right-clicks, etc.
Does anyone else out there obsess over this kind of crap, like I do?
Are there better packages on Windows or Linux? If you know anything,
please pipe up.
