Tabbles home | tagging + virtual folders 1.3

Overview

Tabbles home | tagging + virtual folders is a system that is most applicable for businesses but could possibly also be of use to individuals who wish to organize their personal files with greater efficiency.

The system uses a drag and drop system where users can drag and drop files into the application. There is a Workspace area where users can create different virtual folders to organize documents and information files. A single file can be placed in more than one of the virtual folders which makes it easier to find the item later.

One of the most powerful aspects of Tabbles is that it supports tagging. This means that files can be tagged with different information. This is much more powerful when running searches for files where the file name has been forgotten, but it was tagged properly which makes tracking down the file more likely.

There was no adware, toolbars, spyware or malware included with the setup package.

Tabbles home | tagging + virtual folders requires Windows 7, Vista, or XP (32 bit and 64 bit supported).
