I really am a minitree fan, so I'm always wondering ways to improve it. After some time minitree grows too big. I can minimize it, so I can periodically "restart" the minitree. It would be very nice feature, if the the least used branches disappeared automatically. For example if I didn't use a folder in 30 days, it could be deleted from minitree. So I would have a minitree with almost constant size, always containing the most important, most used folders.

While this seems on surface to be practical, the amount of overhead needed to support it makes it impractical, I suspect.

Yep, exactly.

I think it would be a very useful feature.

You should write some "last opened" tag for each item in treeview. Then at loading tree (at program startup), when you build a tree, you'd say :

if ( branch.lastOpened - now <= branchTimeout ) then addBranch() else doNothing

for each branch that is read from ini file.
