Is there a plugin that lets you manually add files to lists/categories? Something like Mylyn but manual and more files–kind of the way Gmail manages mail–a tagging system.
If I let mylyn manage my windows it actually closes them without any way to shut off (Something I absolutely cannot tolerate, I use my open windows to remind me of what I’m working on–my memory absolutely NEEDS the help)–on top of that it automatically adds files to lists just because that list happens to be open when I start doing something else.
I guess I’m thinking of a plugin that offers a different version of the “Package Explorer”, one that is organized by task instead of by package hierarchy, and allows you to move files around at will.
…or is there a way to adapt an existing tool to do this (without actually moving the files around, of course!) Bookmarks don’t seem to offer a “Grouping” but using a common first word for the description in my bookmarks may work… Any other ideas?
After messing with it a bit more, it looks like bookmarks might do what I want. It is possible to filter bookmarks by searching the subject string, so as long as I put tags in the subject string I can select a sub-filter and have it bring up all the relevant files for a given task.
I won’t accept this for a while in case someone has a better answer (a plugin perhaps?)
