Re : Time based profiles for recent docs. (day routine based)

Deepak said this: mmmm....different people got different problem it seems. Interesting.

And I think this is the problem. If we make it too static, then it will be hard to please everyone.

Would it be possible to define customized tabs that could be added or removed as pleased?
The tab would then have as many items as we want it to be.Sort of like the smart folder of MAC.
If I have pictures php css files that i have to access quickly because I'm working on a web project, I could make a new definition of what I look for.
This could include items of type css php jpg and png not older than one week (or a specific date, the day I started my project).


Since the space to have tabs is limited, it could be possible to load a tab definition in order to switch from one view to another quickly. Sort of like a playlist in your favorite media player.It might be possible to stack tabs on 2 rows.

This will solve my problem but only for one part.

Always for the example, I have two different activities: scanning,
archiving and preparing my photos on one hand and creating my gallery on
the other hand; both activities are associated with image files. But
when I am scanning and archiving, it can take a long time (one day for
one roll). If I have several rolls, I will first scan and archive and at
the end I will prepare my photos. But it can take several weeks.
Meanwhile, I can create one gallery from previous rolls. So if I have
one tab with all my recent image files, I will have a mix from two
activities. If I can have a choice for items organized by activities, I
will be able to get the right recent items associated to the right
activity.

And if one activity is associated with more than one category of items,
a tab "All items" for this activity will be a good solution. It's the
reason why I was speaking about a matrix.
