Along with other snippets and pieces collected from the web, I have to search often in the hope, that I've renamed the file and not left it with its cryptic name - which sometimes results in bigger renaming sessions.A friend of mine suggested to use a database, which implements the library coding*, adapted for roleplaying needs. But this leaves a few question open:1. Is there already a library coding for roleplaying books?2. Which database is stable and can be used both under Windows and Linux?3. Can I save my binary files in the database, too? Can this strategy be recommended compared to create a parallel directory structure? While there would be fewer inconsistencies and less effort to sort everything in the database, the files have to be extracted, if I want to view or even edit them. Is there a possibility to automate this? If  yes, can the files be compressed on the fly?4. Did I overlook any caveat or even a better method to organize my mess?*Library coding is something like "3.1.5.6.2", where every number denotes a certain category. It is used in many big libraries, but I don't know the official name.</blockquote>
