RE: Home document management?

[ian.bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I use Portfolio 8 by Extensis - well, I am just starting to. It is an
asset management system and I use it to store and catalogue my photos. You
can assign keywords and all sorts of good stuff. It handles lots of
document types but I am not sure about searching within them. Search the
assigned keywords and other attributes though lightening fast.

well I use a library switcher utility with itunes so there are separate
libraries for my music and documents.

I find it quite good as you can categories things, search for items by
title etc. The only downfall is you can not rename the headings so your
documents are organised by album and artist! It would be ideal if you
could hack it so you can renamethese group headings, maybe you can but I
have not looked further into this.

The only downfall for me at the moment is that itunes can only accept pdfs
and not images or other documents, and you can not search within the pdf
document. But other than that the database is fast and has been reliable.
Plus it is free and you know that it can handle a huge number of documents
and never slow down.
