Re: Faster way to delete files and Select files, in groups.

["David Grega" <webmaster overtech zzn com>]

I believe that having folders like "favorite search results" or something
with a more techie name that the UNIX people will like will be good -
especially for those who conduct frequent searches.  However, a feature that
should be included is to modify a search folder instead of having to delete
it and create a new one.  Of course, modifying a search folder will generate
a new set of results... but it'll be fewer steps to go through and that's
what many of the people on this seem to like - fewer clicks.
