I agree with the distinction, however the way I read this request it is a more specific suggestion for the more general concept of an “app dashboard”, which B_Sp has a more general request as well for here:
So I’m basically saying, the specific approach to the problem (dashboard/description) that this topic represents is probably A: not ideal overall, and B: somewhat solved by Smart Folders anyway, so it could perhaps be closed in favor of the more general one above (which btw has a lot of interesting discussion on that overall concept if you haven’t yet reviewed it). In other words this feature request is a sort of sub-request of the other.
Oddly neither of these Feature Requests have any votes.
