Little details to improve BT imho
Ok, some little tweaks I wish they could be implemented:
Grid Display of Folder: A) I think this should be present in a 2D layer rather than 3D, first 'cause if opening big icon piles it can mess everything it bumps into. It even jumps close to the ceiling at times. Second, it aint of much help when opened and switching to a wall. It's look too flat. B) I second an idea about resizing grid windows adding that they should have memory of their size like normal explorer windows.
Photoframes: A) They should only load local images from folder, not folder+subfolders. Maybe insert an option if necessary. B) More randomness! I have three PF pointing to the same dir and they all change to the same pic at the same time. I have to "refresh them" [point to the same dir again] so it changes the order.
Photo Slideshow [double clicking a pic]: A) What's wrong with the sequence? Sometimes I wanna see a pic just right to the first but it jumps to the one in the wall. Weird. B) Maybe divide them by zone, like, slideshowing pics from one wall only, from floor only, grid only, pile only. Just like they were folders.
Lazo tool: This is more like a problem, the longer draws the enclosure line without selecting icons, bumptop begins to choke. Try drawing a doodle, the more complex, the worst it gets. Remember; without selecting icons.
Help Text Guides [Like the one that shows up after making a Lasso n Cross]: A) Plz, use a smaller font!! Too big! B) And also make a setting about disabling help tips. Like the ones telling you what "break pile" does but without deactivating the text when searching for something.
"More" Menu: I don't support the ones saying that it should be skinned. I think it's too complicated to support all the menu handles that different windows apps add to the context menu. Yet pressing a key to have it is too annoying. I would suggest a different approach: Double right-click [for tablet pens or mouses] or Middle/Wheel Click [for mouses]
Ctrl-Z: Plz! make it available to undo the last action! Sometimes we mess up with a wrong movement and we have to order everything again. Something like the "break pile" just following the lasso n cross gesture that already exists that send every icon to it's previous position. Of course, like with 5 actions at most to undo.
Flip Pages: They should be more flexible. They're useful when having a lot of icons in one pile and the grid is not enough to display them. Otherwise it's a waste of code. To make it more useful: A) To have the ability to remove items from the fliping pile without closing the pile after removing it, like it's now B) To be able to remove items like removing from the grid, not just the option from the circle context menu, but with a drag n drop C) Flip Slideshow! When I flip the images and zoom into one, the next ones are blurry, doesn't load the full image. D) Flip shouldn't bump with other files! fliping a mile next to another leaves a mess. Ok, I know the program's called BumpTop, but sometimes it's too much bumping.
3D Recycle Bin ! [Or more like a movable hole in the floor, so threw icons won't bump with it] A must!along with the Animated Window Weather and Temperature. The rest [furniture, 3d pets, plants] should be on the bottom of the priority list. Only for 3d party widget developers.
Better icon management: Some dropped files loose their icons. Shorcuts specially. Ok, it's just matter to assign it again, but when renaming them, they go back to the "bumptop default" icon. Weird.
Lock Icons! BUT! zone-dependent. Like, lock east wall icons, lock floor icons and of course, lock all icons. Maybe also lock widgets, lock photoframes... something in that line.
Musicframe!! Another must. Personally I don't care about videos, they would just look too small and I won't be paying attention. For that we have photoframes. But music is a must. Maybe with a simple oscillator along with song info. Of course, with the ability to play/or/enqueue dropped song icons. Ok, maybe this could be a 3dP widget.
Less double click sensibility, independant from windows settings. Sometimes program/archives opens when messing around with their icons. I second an idea about not opening an app if we drop an archive over its shortcut.
That's all what I can think about for now :]
No need to tell how awesome the program is.
Oh, btw, I WANT THE TASKBAR! I really hate the idea of having minimized windows droping into the 3D desktop. I want speed to move between open archives!!! That's why all those 3D Flip of switching task in windows vista or mac's exposé [¿?] are just eye candy and not useful.
Besides of al lthat, I'm already in love with bumptop :D

Inappropriate?i like the idea of not opening files when you drop it on a shortcut or at least a option to disable it.
Musicframe also cool.
3D recycle bin as hole in the grong? then erevy hovering icon is dumped it to it that isn't cool.
The undo option great!
that it..
