I would like to see NeXT add the ability for the browser to have custom  
filters turned on or off for each directory.  I would LOVE to be able to  
hold down cmd or alt while selecting a directory to view the hidden files  
instead of having to select expert mode in preferences.

I would also like the ability to have a definable set of pulldown filters  
to view all files that have "xxxxxx" in them or end with ".XXX"  I'm glad  
we have SORT BY KIND, but I would like something a bit more customized.   
Essentially, ls *XXX*.*, or ls *.XXX but from the browser.

Does anybody know if something like this will be in 3.0?  If not then when  
will we be able to build our own objects into the browser or other NeXT  
apps?  It just takes too long between releases when you're working in a  
mission-critical world.
