I keep all my documents organised folder wise - in fact, I keep a private wikindx instance for them ;). The thing is, if I must use nautilus to access my local files any way, I really don't need documents at all - evince is awesome enough. (We even have a nautilus search provider) We can either use the folder organisation system, or use the new gnome tools - docs/photos/music. Mixing them up is sorta confusing, and extra work if the apps don't work properly - like I found out. In spite of using a folder organisation system, I can see documents improving my productivity quite a bit: collections like "today", "soon", save me the trouble of making special folders and moving files around. At the moment, though, I'm just concerned about making sure stuff works in the workstation. Once F21 is released, we're going to have a lights all over the products. Having them working satisfactorily would be nice ;) -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!
