It seems to me that the best way to do this is to have a separate file system (directories) that you can move files that you want to keep into. I'm assuming that "interesting cases" pop up unexpectedly but that you can decide that they are a "keeper" soon enough to save them from the scour program. A script that would go through all the directories and move/copy the desired files over into the "protected" file system would be easy to run. The "protected file system" could look like the gempak file system, so that a simple directory pointer change would make the software easy to manage.

Just one who tends to seek simple solutions, though I've been known to find the most difficult way to complete a simple task in the past!
