Very cool. I do agree the filter is very culture-dependent.

On a similar vein, the 'tag' icon has no visual association with the
many tags on screen. If they had a similar shape, then it'd be easy to
connect, for users who don't recognise a "tag" and the (somewhat odd)
use of "tag" to mean "a bit of metadata on a digital resource".

Wishlist: "show files by size" filter or option? If the Uruguay
experience is any indicator, a fact of life is that users after all
*will* hit:

 - problems with fitting files (large and small) in USB disks

 - problems with their Journal taking too much space

 - problems with installed Activities taking too much disk space

cheers,
