I think that web archives best fit the description of documents, however if the standard smart groups aren’t to your liking, then you can always create your own. Thanks.

I have been looking for software like KIT for ages. Yojimbo was my last try.

KIT is *almost* perfect for me. I am just terribly disappointed by the file recognition, especially

- GIF files in Movies instead of Images
- Web Archives in Documents instead of Bookmarks

The solution would be to propose two modes for filing documents:

- Either the one with the predefined categories you set up (Sounds, Images etc.)
- Or one that uses the Categories
(- Or have a Preferences tab where users can modify the predefined categories rules)

The result is that, for the moment, I cannot use KIT, notably because I need GIF in Images.

Yet KIT is the best attempt of an efficient filing system.

I was thinking that being able to view a list of all tags in use would be very handy. It’d also be great if that list showed the number of times each tag is used. That’d allow me to periodically review the list of tags, and see which ones are not being used often, which ones are accidental near-duplicates (“VW” and “Jetta”, for example), etc. etc. … and this could give me hints on how to fix or fine-tune how I use tags in KIT.

I hope others might think this would be handy, and that it could get consideration as a possible future feature.

Thanks Steve for such a great and useful app and for being in touch with and responsive to all of us users. I’ve convinced at least 6 other people to buy KIT.

I’ll follow this up via email.

Relative dates would be useful alright. The ability to see all files under a week which haven’t been rated with a certain tag would be a useful weekly review of all the stuff you’ve caught and not really assessed.

Smart folders really should be something Apple set up for devs to call on…they are such a key differentiator in the OS from Windows. But for me, they add huge functionality and permit apps to stay focussed while allowing users to find their level.

Somebody else pointed out the iTunes playlist option to me today, I didn’t know about it before, so I’m looking into that, too.

I’d like the option of Date Added being within a time period expressed in a number of units, whether days, weeks or months. ‘Date Added is/is not within x days/week/months. Date created is probably when something lands in KIT but I’d be uncertain if it was the orginal creation date.

I’d also like the ability to exclude or include other folders whether smart or not. iTunes has the Playlists is/is not X option which permits the use of AND and OR constructions.

They’re detailed here

Would you consider these?

KRIBkia – KIT 1.3 shows lots of different source file formats, but doesn’t colour them right now.

Ludovic – I’m seeing how interested people are in seeing all their tags.

David – that wouldn’t have anything to do with KIT, which only provides an importer for KIT’s own notes. You’d be better of on Apple’s Discussions or somewhere like Macintouch: http://www.macintouch.com/tigerreview/spotlight.html

Sadly, Spotlight seems to have stopped doing text searches inside MS Word documents. Or most MS Office documents for that matter.

Any thoughts on how to fix the situation?

Go well!
