We also had some other arguments to and from about this, on #epiphany of

I think it could be made reasonably
obvious to the user with some visual cues like correct icons and emblems
and making it "grow out" of the folder it belongs to, and I think it would
be worthwhile and useful to everyone when you figure out what it does, and
probably faster to use than Apple's implementation.

I still like the regular SLF, but if that is not an option, I'd love to
see something like this.
