That pretty much explains it,
my documents are rarely, actually never that well organised but now that
you say it, it would make a lot of sense for me to try and do this in
future.
I tend to put more time into (long) file and (deep) directory
structures/names to help me easily identify files.
I look forward to whatever you decide to do.
The general concept is sound, and I believe there are a few different
implementations that can make this feature significantly more useful to a
greater audience.
Thanks for clarifying. (I know i need to stop talking and start coding a
whole hell of a lot more...)
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
