For the libraries, I think there should be a division between the logical contents of the libraries and the physical location of the content of the libaries. I'd like to be able to put my library content anywhere and have it be available for access in the library. By default, things could be installed to default/known locations and the library could pick them up as they do now. In addition, I'd like to also be able to TELL the library where some things are, so that I could put them wherever I want - think of it like creating symbolic links in a file system. Think of the possibilities! Basically what I'm asking for is a function to add to a library's content listing while inside the program which will let me navigate to wherever my target content is and allow me to instruct the program to include that target content in the current library. I can see predefining the top level library categories, and restricting the kinds of things that can go in them (probably necessary for program efficiency and stability). But I would like the ability to create whatever and however many subcategories. In truth the program should not care exactly where my files are when they need to access them as long as they can access them. As I mentioned before I also want the library access to take up as little screen real estate as possible. I don't need to see the icons most of the time - I usually know what it is I want from the library without looking at the thumbnail. Unzipped
