One thing I wish the collection could do, is that every time I add a new document with the label that I had used to search for and created a collection, that collection would automatically update with the new entry (and in the right order among the documents already in the collection according to where it is in the binder).
So for example, if I tagged some documents as “romantic subplot,” and searched for that tag and then made a collection of only documents with that tag, I can then look at the romantic subplot in one folder without any other distraction and work on the order of events in that subplot.
Currently, if I add a new document in the Binder and tag it “romantic subplot,” I’ll have to manually add it to the collection, as well as manually drag it to its proper location among the other documents so it’s in the right order. The idea is to make this automatic, so that as soon as I tag a document “romantic subplot,” it’ll automatically be added to the collection for the romantic subplot.
Right now, my workaround is to just delete the entire collection and search for the tag again to recreate it–then the newly added documents for that tag would show up in the new collection, in the right order. But that’s still a clunky workaround and not elegant at all.
If Keith doesn’t want this to be a forced behavior, it could be an option in preferences called “automatic update collections” or something similar.
