I've got a TON of docs on my Palm, and they all fit into a bunch of overlapping catagories. I've been dealing with it by defining some of the most common overlaps as A, B, A-B, C, A-C, D, E, C-E and sorting things as best I can. Now that there are hierarchies and multiple catagories I'd love to put everything where it really belongs.
Given a tree then like this:
A
-1
-2
--2.1
B
-1
C
D
The only thing missing is the ability to display the results of searching in multiple catagories. I'd LOVE to be able to say:
-everything that's in catagory A (but not A/1 or A/2)
-everything in A and all sub-catagories
-everything in A and B
-everything in A2 or B
Then I could organize an article that is about laptop video cards to say that it is about Laptop and Video and then search on both if all I really want is Laptop Video cards. And another article about PC Video cards could be under Video and PC, and then I could find both articles by just looking in Video.
Is such a thing going to be possible? Or should I just define each possible combination of groups as being a subgroup of each group? Like:
Laptop
-Video cards
PC
-Video cards
-Motherboards
Video Cards
-Laptop
-PC
Perhaps a new menu item called 'Find Docs' which lets you search for strings in Doc titles only as well as select a combination of catagories to search in?
Also, since it can now be told if a doc has been opened or not, an 'Unread' catagory? or tab? or some way of just seeing all the docs that haven't been opened at all yet?
