That's a great thought.. Let's think about that a bit further and add
some kind of labels to the files and add the possibility to filter the
files for these labels.
So let's say I have a file "a" with the label "x" and "y" and a file "b"
with "y" and "z".

Now if I open the virtual folder "y" it shows me "a" and "b". But if I
open up "z" it just shows "b". That could be extended by combining
labels and so on..

I think this would be a huge improvement and might be realy useful in
many cases.

What do you think about that idea?

Regards

Karim
