Hi

I note that, following the link, Trac #6128 says:
“There has been much discussion about how to achieve grouping in the journal, 
and whether to move towards a hierarchical structure, like directories and 
subdirectories on a normal file system. In the current design, tags are 
intended to be the organizational tool, instead of directory tree-structures. “

Is this the right place to continue this discussion? 

I remain unconvinced that a journal, even with enhanced tagging and searching, 
is the best solution. While making things easier for novice users, (the "low 
entry"), it takes away the "high ceiling" that a hierarchical structure can 
give the non-novice user.

I have found the concealment of the underlying directory structure from the 
user quite frustrating when working with email attachments. The journal rapidly 
fills with rubbish, I could not turn off the autosave. The journal is OK but 
should it be the only tool available to the user? Isn't the best file system 
the one which most empowers the user?
