Interesting subject.

We've just created a topic on our forum about this, please come and discuss with us:

http://tabbles.net/forum/net-haters-express-yourself-tell-us-about-it-t302.html

Thanks.

We know guys, and we'd LOVE to do it, but it's simply not that easy.

But there is more: we used to do it using the infamous FileSystemWatcher, but the system was just unreliable (http://bytes.com/topic/net/answers/460919-filesystemwatcher-unreliable) so we had to drop it.

If anyone has an idea on how to get this done, we're all ears, seriously!!!

This is also true, we've been a bit lazy with optimizing memory. The reason is that not many people are complaining about this, plus we're mostly looking at the corporate market.

Anyway this is something we'll be looking into in the next future.

Thanks guys, this seems an interesting suggestion. We'll see what we can do with it.

Keep in mind that you can already create tabbles named "good", "bad" and "crap" and assign them to any file.

Makes sense!

It has been on our to-do list forever, please check this:

True... we've been a bit greedy on this side... :-)

Anyway:
1) I promise you that 10.000 files is already a lot!
2) you want a full license but don't want to pay? We gave out some 300 free full licenses already and it's the best thing we did so far - you could be the next one! Please check this:

or just write us to offer some kind of help... it's not hard at all to get a free license from us! We're a bunch of self-funded (read: poor) developers and your 30$ wouldn't help us that much anyway! :-D

...the ZUI may re-emerge in a different form :-)

Patience, my young padawan, will lead you to The Force.

You're so very wrong:

1) you not only need to find files but to group them (by project, customer, year, etc) and your one-two words won't do

2) what if you're working with a crazy excel spreadsheet where all you can read is numbers? What if the 1-2 words are not there cause you're looking for a picture?

3) most important: what if you're looking in a company's shared drive where those 1-2 words will pop-up 100k files where you only worked on one of them, and that file is 55,000th in the list?

This, my young padawan, is the key to will lead you to The Force.

Official response:

if you're a lumberman, then you might be right.
But if you have an office job and handle a bunch of .doc, .xls .whatever, well, then no-no-no, that won't work.
