I like the ability to tag things as new based on minutes new... what it lacks is a way to clear the new status, a manual override, this would be useful for the first setup so everything isn't maked as new
it will be introduced in beta8
also, I haven't had time to experiment properly, but does the folder get maked as new if a file inside it is new? if not I think this would be a good option and have it work for all sub directories as well so people can easily navigate to the new content no matter how deep in a file structure it is.
it has already been discussed. this may be disk-stressing for large folders tree. think if i share my whole hard disk. it may be introduced later.
