Could we have an option to leave it in? I find it very difficult to find
anyone's directory with the real name removed.

customizable recent menu (using customview.cgi)...it would work even better if
customview had an "exclude" feature instead of just "include"
slideshow feature for clickless browsing (this is incredibly easy to implement
if you already have next/previous links)
easier to see/access next/previous links in folders

Well, if Brickshelf content was shared, that wouldn't be an issue. The only
thing that really takes a while is getting the caption for the folder or
interpreting a .cgi link. The .sizecache access is fast.

That's just because customview.cgi doesn't have an exclude. The default
recent.cgi should be exactly the same as Brickshelf's.

That has been fixed.

Well, the code for content and display are separate, so you could easily create
your own prefered interface.

Well, I and others have made comments and suggestions several times before but
never gotten a response. Replying to your email would be a nice start.
