What annoys you about the OS X desktop?

Our next iAnnoyance Challenge, which will begin next Monday morning at 12:01 a.m., is focused on the OS X desktop. This time around, we're improving the contest by giving developers a full week to come up with the winning formula and then selecting the winner based on the quality (ie breadth of innovation, interface, improvement) of his or her submission... not on who's first to submit something.

 

But first we've got to know what annoys you about the desktop in OS X. Does it bug you that you can't show some drives and hide others? That you can't have icons aligned to your specific standards? Let your voice be heard.

 

We'll take all of our annoyances, figure out which ones we can wrap into an iAnnoyance Challenge, and launch the contest next week! So go ahead and sound off - your issue might just get fixed next week!

What me annoys is the view of folders. If you have it sorted on alphabetical order then files and folders are mixed. I like the Windows style where Folders are first on alphabetical order and then files below those folders, also in alphabetical order.

 

Is that possible?

OK, this is only tangentially related to the desktop, but Finder file open/save dialog boxes drive me absolutely *nuts*.

 

It seems that I catch stuff that I want to trash or move while I'm in the dialogs....which means that I have to open up finder, navigate to the location in parallel, and then take care of whatever business the dialog reminded me of.

 

WinXP dialogs can be criticized for a lot of things, but if you notice something you can take care of it within the dialog, right then and there.

 

Default Folder X seemed like it would do the trick, but it really heads in to a different direction. I just want to add the capability to move or trash files (even if it's in the context menu) directly in the file open/save dialogs.
