An off the wall thought, our brains may be geared to group stuff
around things we have done (our history). The problem is those things
are probably different for each person. If a file browser made unused
folders translucent and the ones used increasingly solid in proportion
to my use, then I would be clued about the importance of the stuff, I
guess the file browser would have to keep a huge history of what I was
doing, so I'm not sure I like the idea. Probably the age of usege
could be a factor also, to set color filters, thus blue or green tint
for old usage, red for fresh (I may be using my windows SVN client a
little to much). Does Vista or Mac do this cause, I have no clue?

I know that's no help, but it would look cool.
