Folder Sorting

[Uzer99]

Hello,

I am a new user and use X2 to sort external drives and do offline storage searches. Is anyone aware of an application that could take directories/files on separate external drives and index/tag them with specific terms (music, games, movies, etc), then the tagged directories/files could be referenced/arranged in a separate directory tree under the relevant categories (music, games, movies, etc) which could be virtually linked like a symbolic link. The new directory tree could then be potentially available to the internet like a FTP directory (assuming the external drive is online).

The point of this would be to skip external drive directory/file sorting individually, and simply tag relevant folders/files by category (or use file type) and have everything virtually sorted in a new directory that can be easily configured at will in a new directory structure.

Does this exist already anywhere? If not, how hard would it be to develop this?

All relevant/helpful replies would be appreciated.

Thanks

xplorer2 doesn't do any offline handling at present. Another program of ours called DESKRULE can index all your external storage, and allow you SEARCHES on a number of attributes, but not in the fashion you imagine. Actually I am not sure what you imagine, but deskrule will find all the music files for example, but as search results in a flat list. YOu can give it a go as it is a free trial, and see how you like it!
