Searching virtual thoughts, folders, notes, etc and/or allow "Jump" links to virtual thoughts
We have tens of thousands of very large image files (500 MB - 10 GB each, in compressed format) along with supporting text documents. For several reasons we would prefer to keep the images in a traditional file folder structure stored on a file server. Although we can drag the folder structure into the PB and create virtual thoughts, it would be enormously helpful to have the ability to search the virtual thoughts. Either as an addition to searching virtual thoughts or as a substitute, it would also be helpful to have the abitlity to use a "Jump" link to connect thoughts to virtual thoughts. With "Jump" links I could use the text documents to creats "real" thoughts that would be searchable (and contain the documents) and then use a "Jump" link to connect the real thought to the relevent images (virtual thoughts).
If I understand it correctly, indexing the virtual thoughts, folder and notes is resource intensive because of how dynamic the data structure can be for the virtual thoughts. However, for our purposes, it would work for us to have a "manual" indexing that could be set to take place overnight when the system is not being use.
Is there any chance that a feature for searching virtual thoughts will ever be created? Alternatively, could you create "Jump" links between "Thoughts" and "Virtual Thoughts"?
