Subtypes for tools?

Was this suggested before? I cannot believe it was not :)

Please, oh pretty please, let's have a subtype for 'C64 Tool' - we have mode for the gfx, why can't we have something for this one?? It's so logical I think... At the very least to have 'Gfx tool', 'Sound tool', 'Disk tool', 'Packer' etc.

It such a pain in the ass to look for tools here when you're developing a release or want to do something very specific. And you're convinced there is already a tool to do it, but most querries return squat. My example: I was looking for something for automatic transfer from turbo-tapes to disk, and no querry returned A.T.T.A.C V1.0 - I spotted it in the comments of some other tool, whereas A.T.T.A.C V1.0 was the only one which met all my requirements. Same for gfx-to-char converters, for example ;)

Just put all the current tools into the "Misc" category, the rest will happen automatically.

I guess some experiment could be made:
- split all 5000 tools into groups by first letter (as described above).

- people here raise their arms as to which group they will attend, i.e. 'enthusi takes care of categorizing all tools starting with "t"

- for each change any of you made, sent 1 eur via paypal to me, so I can evaluate the overall progress ;-)

If this works: Im fine :) And the issue is settled and similar things might even be accomplished for other things in CSDb.

It's like that awesome Hexquisite Ptoing launched once elsewhere - just more boring and much less beautyful :)

That experiment needs to be started with basically implementing the feature.
Any progress there?
