VaultSort 5.1.0-beta.4
Smart CategorizeOrganize
Suggest Categories now finds the real groups inside a single-topic folder — flights, hotels, warranties — instead of one blob or nothing, and names them the way a person would.
What's New
- Suggest Categories understands folders that are all about one thing. Point it at a travel folder and everything is travel — so the old grouping either lumped most of it into one pile named after a city, or gave up entirely. VaultSort now looks past what the whole folder has in common and groups by what makes files different from each other, keeping the groups that stay distinct rather than cutting at a fixed similarity bar. A trip folder comes back as flights, hotels, itineraries and travel documents; a household folder as mortgage statements, warranties, utility bills and school papers. Two files are enough to make a group now — a pair of mortgage statements is a category, and the old three-file minimum was discarding exactly the groups people name first.
- The Fewer / Balanced / More setting means what it says. Each step now reliably produces at least as many suggestions as the one before it, on document folders and photo folders alike, with OCR on or off.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Suggest Categories proposing nothing at the default setting. The Balanced preset was overriding the document grouping threshold with a value already measured to shred document folders into groups too small to keep — a folder of 25 personal documents produced zero suggestions while the same folder worked at "More". The presets and the grouping engine now share one set of numbers.
- Fixed asking for more categories yielding fewer. The granularity ladder could invert — "More" returning less than "Balanced", and with OCR off returning nothing at all.
- Suggested category names describe the group, not one file in it. A cluster of scanned medical imaging was named "Chests" after one chest X-ray; a museum ticket grouped with a restaurant booking became "Gulbenkians"; an insurance group was named "Anthems" after the one insurer mentioned. A name now has to describe the group: words unique to a single file — a brand, a place, a person — give way to words the folder actually repeats, and a client's name still wins when the group really is that client's paperwork. Plurals also stopped inventing words: no more "Housings" or "Bloodworks".
