Hi Jean,

I'll use some of the concepts in the first half of your email.  I
disagree with the second.

> In my opinion directories should never bother user. User should just pre-define sets of directories such as: People, Groups, you name it, and files should be accessible in such directories automatically.

Productivity studies show that navigation dominates search.  Human
animals are natural pathfinders and walking computer paths with
ergonomic file explorers such as Dired increases mastery of the
subject matter.

This value is trivial with retrieval tasks such as a person's name,
which is why 10 Bins stores such names in a flat list of directories,
sorted alphabetically by last name.  It is easy to integrate an
automated retrieval script with such a predictable path.

I think Treefactor is the correct means to refile files and
directories, not a CLI program.  The benefits of incremental inductive
refiling outweigh those of the system you described.  Incremental
inductive refiling isn't compatible with your suggested automation,
history and link features.  Proper repo management is also
incompatible.  For example, text and binary files should be handled
separately.

I document rapid iterative inductive refiling here:
https://treefactor-docs.nfshost.com

I've come to depend on its cognitive benefits.
