Enables you to reorganise files and directories into virtual directories
or 'Groups'. Groups and their contents are displayed to the user in a file
manager style lister. Files can be accessed using the mouse and user-defined
actions can be assigned to different filetypes.
Items within a particular Group can be physically stored absolutely anywhere
(e.g. hard-disk, cd-rom, floppy etc.) yet they appear as if they all belong
to the same directory. If you have a hard-drive and/or a large collection of
cd's or floppies, Formation works like a an interactive disk catalogue
allowing easy cross-referencing of files by theme.
Formation provides a sophisticated search engine which includes filters for
text strings, dates and filetypes. The results of each search can be saved
to a Formation Group, copied to a new drawer or archived.
Now includes DIRECTORY CACHING option for seamless browsing of removable media!
