file manager with notes about directories

[vinegoni]

I'd like to know if there is a file manager utility that allows to save
some infos about directories

Basically Id' like every time I enter a directory for a window to pop
up telling me some informations about the directory itself (that I've
left of course in the past).

this would be useful when managing 1000's of directories

Thanks for any help

what kind of infos?

if you hover your mouse on top of a folder a pop up does appear with some
info.

I think he means info he has typed in before related to that directory
in particular...

255 characters?.. why not type the info in the folder file name?

thats what I do....

like for example:

Folder-001-containes-music-files-from-old-LP-albums-[320kbps]

A couple of things that might be useful

DescExt, a Windows 95/98/ME/2000 Explorer extension for 4DOS descript.ion
files.
www.rbahr.de
This adds a description line to explorers context menu, you have to right
click to open/read/edit......not perfect but.....

Description Explorer (metaexplore)- free for personal use - still an alpha
release

This is more of a directory maintainer/indexer than a file manager, although
it can move/rename/delete.
Will take info from descript.ion files but also maintains a database its
own.
Seems to be aimed towards graphics.
