Documentor

The descriptions, groups, and stars you add to a file in Documentor now follow it when the file is renamed or moved – so your curation work is never stranded by a reorganized folder.

  • When a scan finds a file has been renamed or moved to a different folder, its description, group memberships, star, and exclusion are carried across to the new location automatically – there's no need to re-tag the file.
  • The relocated file is recognized by its content fingerprint – its size and timestamps – so the match is instant, needs no re-hashing, and is applied silently for a clear one-to-one match.
  • The matching is deliberately cautious: when two files look identical it won't guess, leaving those cases for you to resolve rather than risk attaching notes to the wrong file.
