now the browser has ability to filter files by type, by tag and by rating.

i have been developing another model in which is possible to count items by 
date, grouping them by year, month or day, that i want to use to visualize 
some kind of timeline used to filter files by date, a very very rough 
prototype:

in this way will be very easy to see for instance the peak of photos during 
the days of a trip for instance


as backend probably there is still something missing, like adding new roles in 
the model when a single type is chosen (ie title author, album for mp3s)
and the infrastructure for property writing (especially mass-writing, like the 
discussed mass tagging) is still pretty much missing (as is the ui).
