The only problem with storing files within UR is that there's no way to reference another file stored within the UR database. You can launch an application from UR, but if that application uses files, those files would have to be stored in Windows, not within UR.

It would be really cool if there was a way to map a virtual disk to UR, so that you could actually load a file stored in UR, rather than in Windows.

For example, if you're using Dreamweaver, you have a directory on your hard drive that contains all the files for your website. I'd like to be able to store those files within UR, but without a way to access them from within Dreamweaver, that would be pointless.

However, if I could map a virtual drive, like "U" to Ulta Recall, then from within Dreamweaver, I could load the file using a syntax like:

U:\Some UR Folder\somefile.htm

You could have a new System parameter in UR called "Path" that would assign a Windows-like path name to an Info Item. Once that attribute has been assigned to an Info Item, you could access that Info Item and any of its children using that path name, from any Windows application.

In the above example, you would assign the Path attribute "Some UR Folder" to the root folder of your website. Then you could load any document underneath that root folder using the standard Windows path notation.

If this feature were implemented, then UR could literally replace the crappy Windows file system and there would be no reason to ever have to use Windows to store anything!
