    I prefer AmiDock style bar, but i know that other prefer start menu. MorphOS need a thing or two for both...

    Could be nice a very configurable menu that can be a lot of things... since amidock style bar, to start menu style or a mix of them...

    would be nice to have a "MakeDir" button on requesters. It's very interesting when you want to save a file from an application, and want put it properly on a new directory.
    Now, without this feature, I must run a shell, and create this directory before saving my work.

    File requesters already have this functionality, look in the Control menu and you will find an item "Create new drawer...", no points for guessing what it does :)

    if you write a name for the drawer you want to create followed by a slash and press "return" the system will ask you if you want to create the drawer. I have not my peggy at hand to confirm this works but on 3.x it worked...

    I would like to have a feature where, within the ambient menu
    structure you'd have the option 'apps running' or similar, it would
    display a list of every application thats currently running, then if
    you moused over it, would come to the front. I'll try and explain it
    idifferently.

    Right now when you hit the RMB on ambient you get:
    ambient
    objects
    utilities
    settings

    perhaps it could be objects>panels
    >applications>voyager
    >mplayer
    >fxpaint
    >birdie Shoot

    simply put, a menu item which displays all running programs and allows
    you to select any one, and bring it to the front.

    There's already (very handy) option a bit like that...

    Press RMB on any window depth gadget and it lists all open windows, if you select one, it's brought to the front...

    Same works with screens too using screen depth gadget; It even has thumbnails of open screens.
