Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: collect files in a virtual folder
« on: December 12, 2006, 09:20 AM »Directory Opus Supports Virtual folders under the name "File Collections". You can create as many as you like. It automatically creates one called "Find Results" as the result of any search operation. That way you have all the matching files available to work on directly.
The are some limits on what can be done with the files. The biggest drawback I've found (and listed as a requested feature from many) to the Dopus file collections is that it won't limit searches to the files in a collection. It would be great to be able to select a number of folders from a crowded network drive and add to a collection. Then just search those.
Other file operations are pretty standard. The only added operation is "Remove from Collection". It doesn't touch the file but pulls out of the view. And there are entries under "Send To" for the File Collections.
