solution: my tagged metadata based filesystem. store file as a guidname in a blob, use tags andm meta data to locate things.
filenames with paths are liomited to beinmg ion that one place; l;ike a pc of paper, it can onbloy reside in the one foilder. but what if you want it in 2 places? perhaps it’s both a picture of vacation (so is inthe folder of the vacation stuff), or it’s a funny picture to be shared (so0 it belongs in your “funny pics” folder).; buit if we store the file as some guid in a blob somewhere, then taqg it with metaq data limke vaction and fiunny pic, we can see it, or find irt, or surfance it, by using a tag browser; along with tyhr other meta data (location, time), we can also see relations to other files on the computer 9in storgage? do we care where). so ionsted of making a paper copy makerd “copy”, or a file copy in the other location (or betterr, a hard link or other reference to the original. windowsd shortcuts seem too weak to support this; not sure of unix links; but if evberything is a link to the file, then we can see find what we want via the tags.
