I have a very large collection of technical papers in a directory tree, and I'd like to go through them and index them through org-mode. What I'd like is to have a way of going through them and look at the unannotated ones, and annotate them one by one. I imagine doing this by first making up a file of links like [[xxx.pdf][not done yet]], and then being presented with the not done ones, glancing at them and deciding how what annotations to put in. In addition I'd like to add tags. What I'd really like is to be able to make up new tags on the fly. Has anyone done anything like this in org-mode? Victor
