	You aren't able to quickly browse through the contents of
a standard directory like you would be able to with a pile. Ideally,
the content list would take up a minimum of screen space, not open
an entirely new window.

	Since implementing those two (displaying a rough count
and selecting a document via pop-up) are probably covered in Apples
patent, we can't do those, but we may have come up with an interesting
idea, anyway:

	What about media-specific folders? A directory type that rejects
anything that's not the right MIME type...
