For testing I let it loose indexing my book and magazine library. After slowing my MacBook to a crawl I suddenly found out my hard disk was full. Yup, Shoka had duplicated all 3.5 GB into a folder under Documents. Right...

For the next version, how about a dialog box asking if the user wants his hard disk filled up with unnecessary duplicates before importing? Better still, google for "symlinks". Do you really think people will bother to import documents only for use with a single (beta) program? Agree with the above comment that the software is unusable. Except for quickly filling up hard disks, that is.

I'm a researcher and have hundreds of pdfs from articles. this idea is great and must be developed further. Adobe Acrobat has a similar library concept but Shoka has got it right: easy to use and friendly. I'm afraid that the project might be very slow or dead since there is no new version for 6 months? Hope not...

This is just version 0.1.3 and I believe there's still a long way to go.
There are a few functionalities missing yet, such as the possibility to sort the files and the sets manualy. (Files are sorted chronologicaly only and the sets are sorted by the order they are created. There's no way to put them in any other order yet.)
But it's very stable for an early release.
And, for a Java application, it is not so slow as I was expecting it to be.
Let's wait for the future versions...

Unfortunatly absolutly unusable by now
