Having "chests", drawers or any other containers as sub-directories, or even better: being able to choose the destination directory. (read whole post please)

I know there are similar idea's but this one may be a bit different:
- The "chest" (Just think of a traditional treasurechest for now) just resides on the desktop as anyother object and behaves the same way, grow, shrink, etc.
- You can drag (or even throw) objects into them
- If you double-click the chest, it opens up and the camera zooms to it the same way as it zooms to an image on a wall. If it's fully zoomed it looks exactly like the main room (floor, walls, etc). An optional interesting feature would be to be able to look outside the top.
- The chests 'content room' works just like the main room, with the ability to drag/throw files out the top, which then appear outside the chest.
- You should be able to place chests inside chest (again: directory structure)
- You should be able to customize the exterior and the interior of the chest.
- Lock chests (Which prevents throwing/moving objects into it, maybe even lock viewing its contents)
This way, you could have "real unlimited space", and still keep your files within bounds.
I would love to see this feature, it would make BumpTop perfect for me.
(I was thinking of buying a tablet to control my computer, BumpTop pushed me over the edge.)

Inappropriate?Chests sound exactly the same as folders, but maybe with a 3D model. Anyway good ideas, but can you make the title shorter next time?

Inappropriate?In real life, I prefer buckets of papers to piles, but agreed with JK3, it's essentially the same concept just different appearances.
