In many web browser, opening a new tab shows a "welcome" page with speed dial and some other funny things.
Can we have a "special" tab like that in XY?

What exactly would you want to display there and what would be the benefit?

- List all Fav folders/Fav files
- History
- FAQ / welcome message from developer / registration status...
- Play some animation (gif/video/flash game...) for entertainment

[autocart]

might be especially friendly and comforting for newbies but I can also imagine that it might be friendly for old rabbits as well

An Android file manager, ES explorer has this homepage tab:

It'd be nicer if XY gets something similar with search, "my documents", some control panel items/XY's own setting shortcuts, and favorite file folders. Maybe as an option similar to "set as home".

here now the official confirmation: +1.

i'd say it would be too much of an effort, 'cause everyone will desire customize it, largly. like me for ex, always hated Search on such "pages" etc.)

Don can think about embedding an html page inside that special hometab.

So, it's like a "preview tab", which act similar to preview in info panel, but take the whole List instead of cramping under statusbar.
With this tab I can view pretty much anything (HTML; avi; music; flash...)
