I guess you’re currently the highest authority in terms of "how many files".
What we’re looking for is a limit that doesn’t discourage casual users and makes hardcore users want to purchase a license… therefore something around 5000 files sounds fair, isn’t it?
Maurizio is thinking about allowing max 5000 generic files or 1000 docs/pdf/xls + 4000 files… it does make sense actually as if you’re using Tabbles for docs, then 1000 is already a lot… what do you think? 🙂

I think you’re being generous… The vast majority of my files are URL links with pdfs a far second place. I use url links (rather than Tabbles internal internet address ability) because I gather most of the links on a machine without Tabbles. It seems to me that that would fall under the generic files catagory. I would also venture that I don’t have more than 5000 pictures, let alone 1000.

With a target market of business users I’d think that 1000 docx/xlsx/pdf means you’re shooting at medium and larger biz as a smaller biz wouldn’t hit the limit for a while, and then only if they were tracking individual transaction data.

I think you’re pretty much giving it away to the home user though. The casual user isn’t going to hit either of those limits in most applications I’d think.

I know you’re mainly looking to the biz market for sales, but I think the casual user market could be quite lucrative, possibly moreso than biz when counting individual licensing. I’ll have to put something together to give you a better idea of why I think that, but it involves some program features that shouldn’t be very high on the todo list right now and, to be honest, I haven’t polished my ideas enough to warrent bothering Maurizio and you with them. (You guys got better things to do atm)

Were I to set numbers I’d put them nearer to 500 with only jpgs higher (possibly 1000). Self generated docs/xls/etc hit the limit sooner (a couple months as opposed to -several- months). The reason for jpgs being higher is that it’s the standard output for digital cameras and gives home users breathing room to get used to Tabbles using their picture collection.

(quick thoughts, apologies. at work. poss more later as I think more)

Very nice, Andrea! Actually had that on my wish list too, but you guys been quite busy and a low priority for me as well.

Veronique, I’m not sure I quite understand what you’re saying there. Is that referring to a color that has no Tabbles attached still showing when you group by color name?

As for your crash after opening the quick-tag many times, I can only tell you that I’m reading a book about debugging to get some clue.

Hope there wasn’t any patio furniture out there. Falling on that could hurt.

If you find any way I can generate logs or better info let me know. The info in the crash box appears pretty consistent, but I don’t know what I’m looking at nor know enough to know where to look to find out.

No, I was messing about in Tabbles and Firefox. Had explorer open but minimized. When I opened the little pop-up it said it was applying my rules to drive c: (which I thought was a bit odd, but…). When it was done it had applied my existing rules correctly. No new rule showed up.

Is the program perhaps supposed to rescan when it’s first booted?

First Look at 1.3.0

To download Tabbles 1.3.0 go here. (both 32 and 64-bit versions)
To download a quick command reference go here or find it on the Wiki here.

If you haven’t used Tabbles before:

Browse around at https://www.tabbles.net/en/tabbles.html. Andrea has put together a great page on how and what the program can do for you. Were I to try and compress it into a single sentance; Tabbles is my everything tagging document/picture/link/file manager/organizer/finder idea generator. (left a few things out cuz I was running out of breath there…)

You can create just about any system of tagging/file management you can think of and it’s unlikely you’ll do it the same way twice.

If you have used Tabbles before:

The step between ver 1.2.0 is huge; Lightened file window, the unlink panel became the twin of the quick link panel, menu bar/button/right click commands were refined a bit. The file window lost the menu button (duplicated file menu cmds). A huge update is that the link and unlink panels now show the filename and linked tabbles of the file you’re working with! (only when a single file is selected) I imagine there will be many more improvements to the link and unlink panels in future releases and this upgrade is an excellent start on that.

The big story was the addition of auto-tagging rules! (under edit menu) The user can now define how a file is tagged based on it’s location, filename or even filetype. Explorer integration has continued to be expanded and besides the ability to right click tag a file in explorer you can locate the file in Tabbles. (and vice-versa) Additionally, when moving files in explorer Tabbles will pop-up to ask if you want to work more with the file’s tabbles and rules.

The auto-tagging rules feature has been improved and refined well since it showed up in the beta release and from the beginning it was a powerhouse of a feature. Future improvements will take it from merely awesome to brilliant.

As always, the interface remains beautiful and fast. The search boxes in the main window or file window are lightning fast and screen re-draws are pretty snappy. The program uses a bit of RAM, but considering all it’s doing it isn’t too bad.

Maurizio has put out another excellent release. (be sure to toss some karma his way.)
