I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?We’ve been played for absolute fools.
they are easy to use and understandyou can make a tagging system if you want, but you'll spend hours tagging adding a million different tags to your files so you can maybe find them easily later

>>107681857>Why can’t I have a file in two folders?But you can.>Why does one have to be a “reference”?It doesn't. Use a hardlink. Which even Windows supports by the way.
