Directories - a flawed concept... - Example of aliases

Say I have 4 categories: HR, Document, Resume, Report.

• I have the following files:
• My Test Doc, belonging to Document
• John’s Report, belonging to Document, Report
• Yearly Report, belonging to Document, Report
• My Recruiting Report, belonging to HR, Document, Report
• Victor’s Resume, belonging to HR, Document, Resume
• HR Evaluation, belonging to HR, Document, Report

Browsing away:

• I’m in “/Everything”. I see all 6 files and 4 categories
• I expand to “Document”
• I’m in “/Everything/Document”
• I see HR, Resume, Report categories
• I see all 6 files
• I expand to “HR”
• I’m in “/Everything/Document/HR”
• I see Resume, Report categories
• I see 3 files: My Recruiting Report, Victor’s Resume, HR evaluation
• I expand to “Report”
• I’m in “/Everything/Document/HR/Report”
• I don’t see any more categories
• I see 2 files: My Recruiting Report, HR evaluation

Browsing away, take 2:

• I’m in “/Everything”. I see 6 files and 4 categories
• I expand to “Report”
• I’m in “/Everything/Report”
• I see Document, HR categories
• Note: here I don’t see Resume category, since there aren’t any files that belong to both Report and Resume
• I see 4 files: John’s report, Yearly Report, My Recruiting Report, HR Evaluation
• I expand to “HR”
• I’m in “/Everything/Report/HR”
• I see Document category
• I see 2 files: My Recruiting Report, HR Evaluation
• I expand to “Document”
• I’m in “/Everything/Report/HR/Document”
• I don’t see any more categories
• I see 2 files: My Recruiting Report, HR Evaluation

This is just one way to explore categories. There can be other ways - I'm all for diversity...
