Art library ... accessibility and categorization

It would be great if the art library were accessible from the left-side toolbar, as a quick option. I'd also like to subdivide the library, perhaps into classes of monster or NPC groups, or whatever. That would make it easy to drop whatever or whomever I wished into any campaign page.
I've made a note for the devs about the left-toolbar accessibility. As far as subdividing your art library (and note, clicking the yellow star next to any item will add it to your own library), you can add any sort of tags to items in your own library. I, for instance, like to add things like 'melee' , 'sword', 'shield', 'fighter', 'top_down', etc, so that I can later search by a variety of terms. To edit the tags of your library, click the black star next to the asset-type drop down. Do you think these tags will work for your subdividing needs?
The tags are good, but I'd like to be able to search through my pre-chosen library with a directory structure, or something like that. That way I don't have to remember which tags I've used or whatever... In fact, it would be REALLY cool if I could link my library to Dropbox!
I agree that a directory structure would really help as I plan to set up a huge array of tiles for my games like the kind D&D sells for making dungeons. Dropbox, Box.net, Sugarsync, etc. accessibility would be a real easy way of doing this and having a desktop solution to organizing large libraries.
I know this is an older topic, but I couldn't find anything more recent.  Has there been, or will there be, any movement in this area? I would really love to see some way of logically organizing stuff that's not just tagging.
