Why code for this when the file system itself can organize the
patches.
Because patches are more than the parameter data, or at least they
should be, IMHO. The metadata, apart from the bank, slot, name and
category should contain author, creation and modification time,
arbitrary tags and usage info (e.g. which controllers do what).
Also, the file system only has a hierarchical structure, one dimension
to categorize patches. There's no technical reason why a patch shouldn't
have (be in) several categories and be listed in both, or why a patch
browser shouldn't support "virtual" banks with "links" to your
favorite
sounds from different banks, categories, authors and so forth.
