Moving the search field and the refresh button to the top of the file navigator would help the user's experience in many ways. It would:

• Bring it to the direction of the user's eye (Then nobody has to "search" for the search)

• Make it where people actually know it exists (I've heard many times of people not even knowing it existed)

• Make the search more standard (you don't see Google's search on the bottom of the page)

(I may be able to provide some concept pictures tomorrow)

Thanks
