Yes @Ben, but it's not yet in Nautilus. I have a few experiments in that in
AltBrowser, such as:
- pre-existing hierarchical categories for packages (with about 5 to 20
entries),
- naming-based matching (i.e. all AST packages are under AST),
[image: Images intégrées 1]

- catalogKeyword-based categories (for configurations with keyword entries,
they are moved in the right top-level package category),
- configuration naming based category creation (see above), and
- user adjustable hierarchies (i.e. you can reorganize the tree if you
prefer and save it as a setting).

Some of it needs some improvement, because configurations are often not
that well organised (many don't have keywords at all), naming conventions
in configurations aren't reliable, and I don't grok Monticello/Metacello
well enough to explore configurations and baselines the way Versionner does.

Bringing that to Nautilus may not be that easy. The left pane is fairly
narrow, and not very tall due to the filter box (which could auto-hide
instead of being allways there). The same goes for the 6 panes idea: it's
very wide and, compared to the past, we're dealing with longuer entries
(icons, indentation) which translate into larger panes.
