Would a desktop document management application be something that people would want?
-
Hello... I have developed a complete desktop document management system that is in its final phases of completion. The application can currently store PDF, Doc, Docx, and TXT files based on any of up to 5 category levels. Currently, this application is completely developed with WPF with a Firebird Embedded Database Engine. I would like to ask if the community members here could see any general interest if I eventually released it for downloading with additional file types being allowed for minimally charged fees (ie: $1.99 per extension). Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Back in the dark ages of 1990 I worked at a place that among other things resold "Document Management Systems" While this behemoth that ran windows 2.2 (really) could only save as tiff, it could text search whole folders via ocr. This permitted scanning truck loads of records then at a later date look for a string find the results that linked to documents and high-lit the stings in the document(s).

I'd prefer Google Desktop. You competing with "free".

I'd want it web based so documents can be shared between the four computers I have in my home office, not to mention with others. And seeing as they are all laptops, having this web-based so I can be adding / updating documents from anywhere...well, you get the idea.

Yes, definitely interested. This field is of great interest to me. You're not planning to open source it though, from what you say?

I'd be interested if it had integrated scanner support.

Then your knowledge is lacking.

Google Desktop is not a document management system, no matter how you slice or dice it. You should review what these types of systems do. For example, SharePoint is a document management system for the enterprise. Its features in no way resemble anything that Google Desktop would provide except for the search mechanism.

Depends on your definition.

Ehr, and what? So you got a hardon for Document Management and SharePoint. Wanna try to explain what is wrong with Google Documents?

Do personal users actually think about organizing their files? I think it all goes to Documents in some form.

I don't really know. That is why I put the question out to the forum. From the answers I have been seeing it appears that outside of researchers, students, and the like there would be little call for my application. Had there been more positive feedback, I would have considered upgrading the application to a multi-user, department level application using something like WCF as the communication medium.

Doubtful. Post your project on github or as an article here on Code Project. You can then get download stats to find out if there is any interest. If so then launch a commercial version.
