If this is behaviour more like the iPhoto date tool (showing only the 
photos in a certain range) - definitely.

Do you mean View->Arrange by->folder?   If so, I haven't been able to 
figure out how to make it work.

zoom would be nice.

the iPhoto data constraint tool makes it really easy to limit the photos 
shown based on year, month, or day --- I think that would be more useful 
than by week.  The UI it uses is basically a scollable calendar --- 
clicking on a year limits the view to photos taken in that year, similar 
for months and days.   I think you can multi-select days or months to 
get a wider range...

I don't care so much about the exact UI - but it would be really nice to 
be able to select a full year, or month in a single click...
