Here's what I'd like to see.  (and implement, if i ever win the lottery.)
  Some, all, or none, may already be there.  I haven't checked.

--- Browsing ---
    [choose: (number-of-items)]
    more than (number-of-items) in folder, open as:
        [choose: (hierarchy, spatial)]
    less than (number-of-items) in folder, open as:
        [choose: (hierarchy, spatial)]

--- Spatial Properties ---
given:
    - all items (initially) belong to a super-group 
    - user can create new groups and assign items to said groups 
      - user can easily create groups (e.g. group by file type)
      - user defined group display properties override that of the super-group
    - user can add/remove an item from any group
    
    scale to [choose: (width) (height)]
    display text to [choose: (top, bottom, left, right, none(preview))] of item

--- Bindings ---
    open in new window on
        [choose: (single-middle-click, double-right-click)]
    open in current window on
        [choose: (double-right-click, single-middle-click)]
