Default When will pro-tools incorporate customizable folders?

I'm a bit of a organization freak. Does anyone know if you can customize folders in Pro-tools 9 or if they're going to in the future? I mean for the virtual instruments and effects like you can in Cubase (e.g. Instrument > Synths > Subtractive Synths etc.).

I use the memory location views to do that. You can then use memory recall to view anything you want Synths/Drums/Vocals/ or anything you define.

This is not Cubase world. But something new should come!

Personally, I would like to see region folders.. and maybe even track folders.. but that is a tad extreme...

I'm able to visually separate the colors better in PT than in Cubase so it's not that big of an issue to me that said...I'm sure I'd use them if Pro Tools had them

I love the marker/memory system in Pro Tools. Being able to save zooms and ranges is sweet.

Track folders would be great, you could group everything and look at groups easily.

But I guess you can just use groups and hide tracks, but not as cool as folders

Touchwood Studios - How would you go about doing that? I had a look at the reference guide but I couldn't work it out. Can you make folders in the memory locations window then?

I would love some folders myself. Memory locations are very handy but not quite the same.

Being able to create folders in the regions list has been a request for about 15 years, so I guess it is not on Avid's list of high priority, actually come to think of it, I don't think it is even on their list of low priority or any list for that matter. Seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to implement considering they've had it in their video editing program for about 15 years.
