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 ;)

Those are categories, not code - stop applying optimization principles to it ;)

Six isn't enough and that list discounts things which were a large part of the scene ... like BBS/Modem.

No problem with a BBS/Modem category. I just tried to avoid categories with only a few entries (like "Database") and I don't know too many tools for BBS/Modem.

I don't get you guys. What is the harm of having 16 categories? It's not like ERP system accounts or anything else that you have to pay big bucks for.

If this principle is applied, why do we have "UIFLI" subcategory for graphics? It's only 3 entries, screw that, put it under "other"!

Let's do the same for "C64 Fake Game". It's only 11 entries, which (if my math is correct) is less than 14 vote counters and 11 contact databases in csdb now, for which you find "database" category not needed...

This is getting ridiculous, COME ON, don't we all have more important things in life - let's implement it already... :)
