Include multiple locations in "virtual" folders
|

Who tried out Window$ seven has already seen it implemented: the basic idea is including more than one location into one "virtual" folder.
For example, the "Music" folder may include music from:
- Music Library
- iTunes folder on Windows/Mac
- Songbird podcasts folder
- and so on...
The original files are still in the source folders, but the user can see them aggregated into a one "virtual" folder.
This thing should be implemented in Nautilus/Dolphin/[choose-your-favorite-file-manager] (also as a "plug-in", where possible), both for ease of use and for keeping the drive organization policy intact (I mean the way the folders are organized).
For a (tiny and useless) example, see this picture: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/340762/two_locations.png

Include (bundle) Artha (wordnet-based) offline dictionary by default

Won't implement

there is this nice offline dictionary for Ubuntu, called "Artha." It is similar to WordWeb v5.52 for XP, and both are based on WordNet, developed by the Princeton university, and gave off as free (BSD) software. I thought, "hey, that would be nice to have as bundled software for future releases of Ubuntu." Well, I admit the "rare" and "common" word tags are ugly, but I have contacted the author for his or her input concerning their feeling about that. But, what do you think about that being bundled?;

Compiz applied to sound

I guess this one may be a problem to implement but anyway...
It would be great if compiz effects also interacted with sound, ie when rotatting the cube the sound of the music playing should seem to come from the side on which the music player was located. Also, the other effects could also support sound effects (like closing windows effects, maximizing, etc etc).

Make or include an app similar to Nero's InCD

Nero's InCD is one of the things that I really miss in Ubuntu.
I know that I could install it in Wine, but I don't think this is the best way. And it would be really good to have FLOS app that would do the same thing.
What does InCD do?
InCD formats CD-RW and DVD-RW in such a way that they can be used as they would be removable disks.
How is this different from Multisession? If I understand correctly multisession can be started only from K3B or Brasero, when InCD; in windows you could add new folders and files through expolrer; you could add files through Dolphin / Nautilus.
I know this is something that Ubuntu should develop, but I'm sure that something like that already exists and should be included.
=========
Yes InCD also has a bad side it can destroy CD/DVD-RW, this happened to me ages ago I think that technology advanced so much that this should not be any problem.
