'''This article is under HEAVY WIP - please don't pay attention to this yet... :-) Tabbles''' is a Relational file manager developed by Yellow blue soft, UAB. which uses a relational database to enable users to categorize files. It was founded in 2009 by Andrea D'Intino, Maurizio Colucci and Irma as a startup.

There are both free and paid version, each with varying options ; the software is available for Windows, and it notably uses F# and WPF. Tabbles uses the Freemium financial model and its free version provides the possibility to tag up to 1000 files.

History
Andrea D'Intino was frustrated by the limits of hierarchical folders of current file systems and wasn't satisfied with alternative solutions such as DMS and tagging tools. In 2008 Maurizio Colucci joined D'Intino and started working on a prototype. The company Yellow Blue soft UAB was incorporated in May 2009. Tabbles 1.0 was released publicly on August 1st 2009.

Functionalities
Tabbles enables the users to tag files and folders and to browse them in a similar fashion offered by Windows Explorer. Tabbles offers auto-tagging capabilities implemented using .net FileSystemWatcher API. The GUI of Tabbles is based on the paradigm "tag = virtual folder" enabling the user to tag, browse and group files both by using keywords or by navigating as with conventional folders.
