Finder needs some power features. For example, the spotlight search bar shouldn’t be for spotlight…spotlight is system-wide, so why have a box for it at the local finder window level? That search box should behave like the iTunes search box or the Safari search box, as more like a display filter.

Or how about a terminal command box at the bottom of finder to do quick commands in the local folder? Maybe this would be a non-issue if I were more savvy with context menus and things…

In short, it would be nice to have Finder be more integrated into the unix sublevel.

Oh, also, bring back the Tiger behavior for Finder windows remembering their last view-mode! On what planet is it logical to make every subsequent instance of Finder behave like the previous window, regardless of location??
