(I hope you don't mind that fact that I am resuscitating a 4-year old thread.)
I was going to write a post exactly like the OP of this thread, when I discovered that this question had already been asked in this thread, so here I am jumping in. Basically, I have precisely the same needs as the OP: organizing the files in my digital library (text, pdf, doc, pics, anything) and make them accessible through Leo, which would allow me to have clones and hence multiple data views. After this, Leo would be about the only way for me to access those files. Initially I was thinking of using Leo for tagging, but it seems that Leo does not support tagging yet (too bad!). So I am asking you advice on how I could go about it. Since I am looking forward to a Leo-only solution, I am not planning to resort to any external program (unlike the OP). Could someone please give me some directions on how to have Leo make an outline containing the listing of whole directories (along with their subdirectories), so that each node is a file? Creating @url nodes would only be the first step, because next I would want to create views which allow me to group and display various files together, from across different directories. This functionality is commonly called "virtual folders" on some systems. Basically, each such folder would be the equivalent of a listing of all the files that are tagged with a given keyword. Can I do all this in Leo, despite the fact that Leo does not have proper tagging? Could I also have virtual folders on demand (i.e. by user input, not pre-defined) which give me the listing of files that are shared by two or more directories? (This would be equivalent to narrowing down the search by specifying more than one tag). Lastly, can I arrange such virtual folders in a hierarchy? Any advice or comment is gladly welcome, especially from those who have already done something similar. dufriz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
