Hi folks,
Just came across this thread and this is interesting.
In fact I already tried my luck at managing various files with MC. The kind of files I tried to manage were office files, pfd, rtf, and some source codes (.c, .cpp, .vhd, etc..).
What I wanted was several views : one by projects, one by doc type, one by dates and in this field MC is great. Well, althougth the date display would certainly need more flexibility.
What would be nice to have apart from others have already stated:
- some abiliry to manage different versions of files (kindof light CVS ?)
- ability to add images to any file type (could be nice to have all file from the same project bearing the project's logo)
I also tried to use MC to manage a collection of scientific articles (as pdf files) to setup a bibliographic database. I added the following fields (author, title, journal, issue number, pages, type (article, book, thesis..), affiliation (Caltech, MIT...), etc..).
- What would be nice for this usage would be the ability to create a character string (like [Author] - [Affiliation] - [Title] - [journal] - [pages] - [year]) that could be copied to the clipboard and thus inserted as a reference in a text being edited. See what I mean ?
I guess many more suggestions and comments will flow as the development progresses.
Hey, BTW, I tried temp1103 and, wow, I have been promoted as an artist for the doc files I authored !! I might get the next literature nobel prize, who knows ?
Thanks Matt
!
In the meantime have a great week-end,
Christian
