Get rid of folders
I think that folders should be piles. The folder in the traditional desktop seems to hinder the bumptop feel. It is just a personal thing but I feel that piles and folders are unnessesary. Maybe Piles and 'shelves' would work better?

Inappropriate?I partly agree, whoever I think that simply replacing it with a pile wouldn't make the bumptop feel any better so I'd suggest having folders like little folders (yes) that when you open them the files inside a) explode out b) fly in the air c) stay inside but you're given the option to decide what you want to do with them that you can already do with piles.
Then when you're done with the files they'll all just fall back into the folder. 3D.

Inappropriate?I like that idea. How about an option to tip the folder onto the bumptop all the files tumble out and land how they last were. The ponit is they are on the original bumptop... -
Inappropriate?You can do an "Expand to Pile" on a Folder. Then it will act like a pile.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Doh! thanks Tony

Inappropriate?I dislike this idea, since it was implemented (horribly IMO) in the latest beta (2318). When I double click on a folder, I want that folder to pop up in an explorer window, not be displayed as a pile. If I wanted those files to be in a pile, I would put them into a pile.
I love bumptop, and I think it's great, but I haven't drank the bumptop koolaid fully enough to think that piles > folders.

Inappropriate?Our new VIP beta version has folders opening automatically as piles. We thought opening folders directly in bumptop would be a great idea because things would be faster and smoother (things remain in context). Also, having the folder icon there lets you jump to an explorer window if you want it.
We thought we'd give it a go and see how people like it. Users are on both sides, like and dislike. I think one thing thats clear is that when a folder opens as a pile, it should definitely return to a folder. We're making that change.
But, it also looks like some people like and don't like this change so we may have to put it as an option. But keep it as a default.
