think we are on the same page. Because you could use a finder-like tool
to search for say, all videos and images that match some criteria. But
then if you wanted to come back next week and view the same collection,
do you have to type the search criteria in the finder-like tool again?
Assuming we could type a search like:Hm.
Am I the only one obsessing about organising all my data in the same
place? (ie. the "Finder"/Workspace)..
IMO the files should indeed be individual file system objects; the
organisation (filtering, list order) could be done by use of
attributes in a database (as we can't rely on a Great Filesystem(tm)
like BeOS could) - but all in the graphical shell, not in iTunes/
iPhoto-like beasts... Services would be provided to "Play these" or
"Slideshow these" etc., but there'd be no Media Library Application
to launch, just small applications to view and edit (and I'd prefer
to keep those as seperate as possible too).
-N
*.pdf + movies + *.png + *.tiff + \"tony"
\"tony" means any object that contains the text tony i.e. contacts, documents, mail, etc
I surely wouldn't want to type this every time in the finderlike tool.
So i was just trying to say that having a file system object that represents this collection/search, that we can single/double clicke or pipe to a service would be a good idea.
Happy day
