Stuff that is missing which I consider basic

Hi there,

I'm currently testing out BumpTop and want to use it mainly for (quick) organization, what is doesn't! What I miss is fairly basic:

1). Why do I get an error message when marking several folders and "cutting" them (Strg+X) because I want to relocate them? Why is this not possible??

2). Why do I have to loosen single folders/files out of a bulk (after "order by type") just to move them into another folder?

3). Why can't I put (loosened) folders/files into other folders just because they are in a bulk also? How should I work this way, when 1). - 3). aren't even doing what Windows did ever since?!

4). Why can't I decide between moving and copying - and don't even get an indicator for that? I mean I didn't really get it that much previously, but in Windows 7 it is pretty clear. So one more thing missing. *edit* One can't even move files into folders, but only copy?!

5). Why can't I just put a single picture in a picture frame?? I don't want stuff moving constantly on my desktop, I'm working in my browser + apps anyway! And I won't create a single folder just for that one picture I want in that picture frame (great idea btw.).

6). Why don't you offer more options in context menu? It seems I use it more often than I thought, which only now comes to my mind, as all the options aren't there! Although it would be faster, I sometimes just don't care and won't use shortcuts. It should be possible to put as many of the items available in ones normal context menu also in the BT context menu. This might need more technical tweaking from your side, but it is an important step to convenience!

Another, individual request:
7). I use the great "Fence" software from Stardock - and this obviously doesn't work with BT. Bad. Luckily after closing BT all the positions are preserved, yet I could accidentally put items from my fences elsewhere because the pile up with all the other files in the BumpTop view! So that would be bad. And yeah, additionally Fences gives a great organizing tool, I use it GTD-style and I can't do without it! As you have kind of fences ("grid") this is good, yet this is not enough. You know have to decide if you want to steal them their idea(s) ;-) and copy it, or you try to integrate it into BT, as Windows Gadgets that work too.

Hope a lot of this will change with the v.1.5 ...then I might also be ok paying $25 for BumpTop.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards.
