    why did you change the folder icons to look like document icons?


    I can no longer quickly see the folder tree with everything looking like a document file. This is very inefficient and frustrating. Plus when I try to change the icon to the old filter - it does not change in details. This is unacceptable! We the paying customers should have the choice of how we want to organize our files!
