Sorry, that was just too easy bait to let go.

Yeah, but it's not the same thing. This can do it ;-) And yes, folders are the same thing, they're just a property on the file system. Which stores stuff in inodes organized in RB trees or stuff like that - the physical location has no relation to the directory hierarchy. True that a file can have multiple tags but as I said, the fact that you haven't seen any system working with it doesn't mean it isn't possible. I haven't had a good look at how the PA guys do it but I do look forward to seeing it ;-)
