Folders in the files-module

[aenor]

It would be great to have folders in the files module.

Besides easier ordering all unziped files can get in one folder.

Some form of organizing files is currently under consideration by the devs. PM me if you are interested in financially contributing to this.

Instead of folders, if you think of the Tags in the same way that gmail has Labels then you can tag any of your object with preset tags, or create new ones on the fly.

When you want to hunt down just objects (we'll say Files) in a certain "Folder" you just go to the "All" workspace, click on the Documents Tab and then click on your "Folder Name" in the Tags Panel.

Edit:  And I just thought of something, objects can have multiple tags, while a file can only go in one folder, so you would have to know where to look.

You are right, that is really an option.
It would be fine if I would be able to automatically tag all files with a certain tag when unziping (the .zip's name?). That would be a first step.
But I still prefer to have folders, as this is a different layer. It enables me hierarchical organisation of files.

yeah, no hierarchical.. though Gmail doesn't offer that either...

I guess it comes down to a preference thing, what your used to, and how...

Now if you could arrange your tags in the tags panel with a hierarchy then I think that would solve both of our preferences
