A few thoughts, in random order:

1) Finally something like this that works !

2) I'd like to see space available 
   next to used/quota in the Tool Tip for a volume

3) I have some 40+ volumes, so I'd also like to 
   have their names visible. 
   What about either a scrollable version 
   of the (now up to five) Icons together with names
   or a tree view (topology taken from e.g. common suffixes)
   with the icon just before the name...

4) I am hugely interested in visualising conflicts,
   and have (I start dreaming) two tree views 
   for the local/global view. Could be done by calling
   a file manager for display ?

5) What about user token and hoard permissions ?

I hope this finds inclusion into the coda tree,
as it helps very much to avoid unneccessary conflicts
and forgotten tokens...

Yours,
Steffen
