It'd be nice to have an emacs-hook so that it'd automagically place things into the correct directories, based upon pattern-matching on file-names, or the content of the file at the first write. So, I wouldn't have to tell it where to put my POV-scenes, or my journal-entries; I shouldn't have to--they always go in the same place. Teaching emacs how to figure out where things like Python-files go would be harder.... Maybe not. They exist, arbitrarily-arranged, in a hierarchical name-space, but the name-space is always rooted at the same place in the unix directory-hierarchy, so, I should, at least, not have to re-communicate that root every time I add a Python-file. For languages/formats handled by the OO-browser, I suppose that the problem is some-what already solved--code-space is reduced to a flat name-space consisting of project-names. Hrm. I suppose that I could just reduce the amount of hierarchy in my directory-tree--rather than placing POV-scenes in \~/graphics/3-D/POV-Ray/scenes/still/, I could just put them in \~/graphics/, and change the way that I access them. I could use `find -name \*.pov | grep clock', when I want to list the animated ones, for example. I could write a Hurd-translator to provide me with automated directories, or I could write a cron-job (iew), or I could make an interface that I can use from Koyemsi.... Hm. [Reply] |
