I'd like to see something similar:

Lately I have thought about a filestorage like this which consists of two parts: 1) some kind of database in which you can put binary files and attach tags to them 2) a FUSE (?) driver which let's create different 'views' on this database which then can be mounted as part of a normal filesystem.

For example this would be nice for music and pdf collections. You could create different 'views' and then go to one folder to see your music/pds sorted by year and then to another folder to see them sorted by author/artist and then to a third one which is sorted by type_of_music/artist/album.

this way you would get the best of both worlds: 1) a powerful database to store and organize binary data and 2) downward compatability since you can just use the command line / bash to 'export' files to mp3 players and so on.

Woah, this pretty much describes my "perfect" file organization tool which I've been thinking about in the last months. I was thinking of combining it with revision support (every version of your file stored) together with Dropbox-like synchronization.

I think every version would be a bit much, especially on smaller drives if it had logarithmic diffs i.e. every change today. Every hour for the past week. Before that every day for the past month. etc. It would probably be more disk efficient for people with smallish SSDs, but everybodies "perfect" is different.
