Do not like being a Practicalist, but the request on how many files in Tabbles and the instructions on how to obtain the number indicate why the use of Tabbles MUST require freeware for some time. The learning curve (even for experienced people like me) is VERY STEEP, Here is a VERY Current example:

This topic begins with a "simple" request, How many files in Tabbles. BUT a small picture included and the instructions:
1) double click on the tabble "Tagged", the one with the Tabblee icon (in the picture…maybe it’s name is "used with Tabbles") 2) read the number in the top right."
Above indicates an small example of THE MAJOR learning curve challenge.

It is important to remember that almost ALL users and potential users of Tabbles (me included) have been raised on explorer or equivalent. Personally I use powerdesk + other utilities like treesize and windir to provide SIMPLE "management" of my files. The learning curve on these products was close to zero.

The videos were a big help, but the user interface and simple information and intuitive navigation will be the key to user acceptance and THEN the $ will follow.

I have NO problem with a file limit (Maybe a folder limit would be better).
I like the limit idea but what is a Tabble definition of a file?

If it includes the htm(s) and associated files in the folder then the number better be large. On the usability point, If I could define to tabbles (SIMPLY), a filter that says ONLY include the HTML file and not the subfolder and its files then the number would be MUCH smaller.

Related is the the following about a file called xxx.html and the related folder xxx(and its sub files).
IF I "move" the xxx.html FILE (not the folder) than the file is moved with its subfolder. If I rename xxx.html to bbb.html then the xxx folder is no longer associated with the html.

Hope this helps.

I just ran TreeSize Free and it reports on the simple run that I have 249,289 in my downloaded software folder and
295,954 in my "critical" files folder.

The problem with this "number" is that there are thousands of htm or similar type "files" that are associated with sub folders and there is a lot of "junk" inside.

For example a "file" called downloads.html (The Download Tabbles 1.3.8) page is 33,046 bytes, HOWEVER the "subfolder and associated files add 35 more files for an additional 362kb)

I am very happy to report a few events.
1. After a reboot (1.3.5) my system (desktop and browser) seemed to be back to normal
2. I was able to successfully uninstall Tabbles and reboot OK
3. I learned that in event viewer, it is NOT File save as but rather "action" to save (export) event viewer data.
4. I have sent the logs for review.
5. I downloaded and installed Tabbles_setup_1.3.8_20091207a.msi (I add the version and data) with NO problems
6. rebooted and started Tabbles with no visible problems.
7. sent the Event viewer logs for review (MUCH smaller) since I now understand Event viewer
8. Probably MOST important is that it Appears Tabbles performs a create system restore point because that in the failing event viewer log.

(.net 3.5SP1 is installed)

GOOD Progress….

installation of 1.3.5 (dated 1203) has really messed up my desktop so this is from my backup machine.
I just installed 1.3.5 and noticed many very disturbing activities.
1. my desktop was totally replaced and really messed up with what appeared to be a tabbles background as well as TOTALLY re-arranging the desktop ICONS.
2. It appears that My default Firefox was changed to IE
3. I can not even start control program to Uninstall tabbles!!!!!
4. Snagit no longer works so I can not even send a print screen.
5. there is not even a "run" ability

This install on Vista has really screwed me!!!!!

Just installed 1.2beta 2. How do I get the windows desktop back.
Tabbles is NOT a replacement for that. (yet)
