I understand that separation may be quite important for you, but its not really that important for me (and probably for other users). I currently hava a "Picture" folder which contains all types of images (downloaded, created, digital photos,etc), organized in sub folders. Is not that an viable option for a user like you (who consider user-created data different from "other's data"), to create that separation by using subfolders inside the "Picture" folder?I'd hate to see a mixup of what I did create with what I didn't create. And this is very much user-style (i.e. some users might really create music). Lets not remove at least one separation we already have, and which we can easily establish on a system (in most cases): user-created data from others' data. Cheers, Danilo
BTW, I'm in favor of system-wide folders (Pictures, Music,etc) but the apps which are going to use this locations should always provide the options of using an "user specified" folder instead of the system default.
I think that in the work scenario, which is typically project oriented instead of document oriented, should be considered an expert or advanced use-case which could only fall inside the "desktop-wide document folders" model as long as the apps used for each project treat the project (an all related files) as one document. Yeah, I know, easier said than done.
