Hi I wonder if you know the Surfulator program http://www.surfulater.com/? It is very nice kind of outliner/knowledge soft. It is of course only windows/commercial product. among its rich features I'd like to point to some very useful ones: - tagging - date aware
If we compare basket (or any other outliner) to photo management (like digikam) software we notice they are very similar. They both manage data (and it does not matter that one is image and the other one text) and the tasks to search for specific item are generally the same: you may search by: a) name b) date c) tags Those are the main (IMHO) search categories. So if digikam has all those nice and useful features why not to have them in basket? Actually basket has good staring points to make it possible. It has of course very nice live search by names. It has nice tagging support, but not used to its full potential. It lacks date awareness. Why I mentioned surfulator above? Because it implemented all those features and they work great together! It is done in very similar fashion as on digikam (or other wise photo management soft excluding picassa). The main (name) tree (with folders/subfolders/items) is done in classical hierarchy just like in basket. The date tree shows items in chronological order and tags tree show the items grouped by tags. Simple and very effective. Just try it. Only one click away from those three views of our notes. From my (as a user of basket 1.x) point of view basket has all the information required to manage the items in a way mentioned above. We have time stamps with every note, we have tags. So it is only a matter of using their potential. I hope I have explained it clearly?
