I like that icon, and I like it's name too. I think it's useful, but it shall be able to switch completly off.
About assigns:
I think one of the best things are the assigns. I use a very large, 4-10 level, complex directory stucture with many symlinks, and I prefer to leave the most frequently used directories easy reachable with assigns (like EX-55: for my photos (after the type of my cam), Down: for downloads, Logs:, MP3:, Movie:, ScreenShots:, etc.). It's very useful, that they are listed in browsers.
Other things: I like, that MUI4 asl lib shows the directory's icon for the assigns. Where has it gone from Ambient?
What are the long-term goals of the icon subsystem? Is it now final? I mean that will it ever support 128x128 (or much likely much larger) icons? MOS icons remain always as Amiga-ones: fix- and only one-sized? I think storing different sizes in one file is not a bad idea. What about adding a fix sized, square shaped border around the thumbnails (like in XP)? What about storing them into a cache?
What about the "dynamic drawer icons", which refer to their content (e.g. picture drawer is a def_drawer.info and a small def_picture.info on it's edge)? Other ideas?
