I am looking for something a little different than this: annotated ls
listings. I have been searching blindly for years for this.
Back in the 90s was a Dos clone called 4dos, which featured directory
listings with annotations, such that typing whatever the command was
(dir?), gave a listing with the file name just like "dir" but also a
description of the file.
It was exceedingly useful for me, in keeping track of a large number of
files. I have never seen anything like it.
Could org-annotate fulfill at least part of this requirement? (I have
posted to this list a similar question quite some years ago.)
