I'm using Inkscape for many issues and over the years a large quantity of SVG graphics has amassed themselves spread over different folders. While I'm reusing many pieces I find myself in a situation previewing folder after folder in the open-dialog. This is very unsufficient because it steals time for real artworking. I've tried 'inkview' but when I find the right graphic I have to remind folder & filename and all that sequential. Then I tried SOC project "clipart browser" [1], which seems to be the best approach to find graphics. It works fine with a local and OCAL[2] repository and searches also for svg-keywords. clipartbrowser shoud be a part of inkscape. I can also imagine to integrate 'tagging'-functionality seen on social bookmarks projects or OCAL's new cchost[3].
Best regards
