name piles without putting them in folders
why does naming a pile automatically stick everything in a folder of that name? That's a bit annoying if you're not intending to keep that pile that way for an extended period of time. Plus, if your photo frames refer to a folder in that pile, it deletes the frame when you "name" the pile.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I don't even understand why the concept of a folder and pile is separate. They do not seem to have any functional difference and it just clutters the UI to have two different ways of accessing almost exactly the same construct.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?@Kentor: I see a functional difference between a pile and a folder.
I put folders on my desktop to organize data that I might not access that often, but I don't want to dig through my documents to find it. It's all in a folder on my desktop.
I put things I will access often into pile based on functionality, for instance, I put all of my (shortcuts to) programs that connect to the internet in one pile, games in another (separate games pile for my wife's games), and assorted (shortcuts to) programs in a third. In another pile, I have a bunch of folders for work related things. If those folders are accessed often enough, I'll de-pile them and let the folder sit on my desktop so I don't have to scroll through the pile every time I want to open the folder. If they're accessed really often, I'll hang the folder on my wall.
Given that, I like the ability to scroll through piles I create, without having to scroll through folders I have that may contain 100 subfolders or files.
I’m confident
