Sub Folders with items within the "Paper" folder are not listed in the popout list under "Paper >", would be nice!

i.e. on a portable installation items may not always be available due to run location e.g. using network devices that are not always on, running from a different machine.

Perhaps have a clean up feature to remove unwanted/orphan items in the Paper Folder file for end user to action.
You could even have Stats: 3 items unavailable, click here to clean this paper folder now

Excellent new feature. Just trying to work out how best to use it..

Probably true. But I'm hesitating to remove it. It's so expected to be there.

Also in the Edit - New you could have an option to create a Paper Folder.

I'm guessing something like:
CopyTo... -> Location: paper:NewPaperFolder
So basically by prepending "paper:" to the path of whatever operation you're trying to do, it will automatically create a new paper folder? That seems like a neat idea.

    * Paper Folders: Now, if you copy items to a Paper Folder that does not 
      exist yet, it will be created on the fly without asking.

I somehow think you should have an option to turn off the auto-save feature (not on by default). Then that "Save" menu would make a bit more sense. Also, how about a read-only mode? This is different than allowing zombies.
