Virtual Files / Virtual File representation
Don't know which is the appropriate place to post this so I try in in General.
Here's the deal... I am looking for a solution that allows me to create virtual representations of files in a designated folder on my HD that allow me to open the file as if it was right in the folder.
Example:
lets say I got a folder with 1000 Music files. Now I want to sort them lets say in genres. Usually I got two options to do this.
a) create a folder for each genre and physically move each file to the appropriate folder
b) use a mediaplayer that allows me to tag the files and sort them inside the application
But I don't want any of these options. What I want is something like this:
Create a folder and drag something like a shortcut for each file into the folder - BUT I want to be able to "open" this shortcut from within ANY program or Mediaplayer - just like if it was the real file.
A few Programs have this kind of functionality built in - they ley you create virtual bins/crates/folders and if you want to you can have the same file inside of several bins without the need to copy them several times. BUT the problem is that this works only inside of the specific applications.
I am looking for a solution that can be used with any program.
I'm not quite sure that if this description was understandable... but I guess for the first try it might do ; )
I hope to get some suggestions.
