Folders needing some updates

Folders needing some updates

Hello Autodesk.

I bet I´m not the only one wondering why the folder-function is missing some commands.

To mention some examples, if I put a couple of parts/assys in a folder and then choose to suppress the whole folder, the folder icon doesn´t change. This is a kind of a big deal since it shouldn´t be a big issue for you to fix. You did it with Parts and Assemblies, so why skip the folders?
Also, there´s the endless question of why we (users) can´t be allowed to move patterns into folders (this might not be the folders fault due to the fact that patterns aren´t movable once they are created).
How come the patterns are always created at the bottom of the Assembly Tree and not in the folder where the part was I wanted to make the pattern out of?
Last of my small list is the fact that there isn´t a "delete all files/folders within this folder"-command.

I love working with your program. You´ve really done a great job so far with it, but this is a big issue for me since I use folders a lot for different choices in my templates.

Question: Is there any way for me to make a folder appear different if I suppress it? Color-change, icon-change, anything really that stops me from having to check for suppressed parts to know what I suppressed and what not.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I would also like to be able to sort in the folder (alpha numeric sort).

This should also work for patterns...
