i agree with the feature "new folder" in the dialog box but i don't
think there should be two windows (folders, and files) just the way
it's done in applics right now. ALSO how about double clicking a file
or opening it in the finder opens that app but just opens the file in
that app if the app is already open (instead of a seconf copy
running)?  also hierarchical DAs are a must
