Title: Solution for 'Sub Folder of sub folder of "Category" that contain item'? Post by Lexje on 07/18/08 at 07:27:55 Hi forum, I regularly use a column's sub folders as categories. It is obvious that categories vary according to subject or group. Having only one column with ALL categories will result in a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG list of categories. Is there any solution or workaround to use sub folders of subfolders as categories, as it were different level categories? |-Folder |_sub folder | |_sub folder / category 1 | |_sub folder / category 2 |_sub folder | |_sub folder / category a | |_sub folder / category b |_sub folder I'm also looking for a solution to use these categories as TAGS, at best to be able to export / import / sync these to e.g. PALM soft such as Shadow Plan. (I do realize that Will Sargent did something of the kind - here: http://tersesystems.com/code/?overview=shadow Looking forward to your feedback! |

Post by Admin on 07/19/08 at 16:41:47 right click on column header and selecting "Properties" turns column into "subfolder" displayer. no ecco 'sub-sub' displayer options. possible suggests: 1. you can have multiple columns, have a 'sub' folder as each column, and display the 'subfolders' of those. 2. you can have just single level of sub folders and use standard prefix for different 'sub-sub' folders. Eg. 1: sub a 1: sub b 1: sub c 2: sub a 2: sub b 2: sub c etc. using ALT+ first letter of folder name 'jumps' in the columns pulldown box. slang extension allows very large pulldown box size. (options>Misc.) 3. use the folder pane to enter folder data. Left click on box next to folder name allows entry (including for multi-selected folders), as does drag & drop on any folder(s). ps: more complex way to do this, uses 'ghosted' folders as single level subs of different folder. Ie. using slang extension sub folders OF SINGLE FOLDER, auto-set if folder (sub-sub-folder of another folder) is set. This way can have single column to display settings.) |
