I always run into problems finding that one workspace - among hundreds of them - I used last time to do this or that.... Even though I consistently name my workspaces using the order number, the name of the customer and a couple of key words in the filename. It stuck me that Windows displays a preview of the contents of a file, whenever I click on a tiff, or a png, or even a csv or html file, whereas clicking an FME workspace file in Windows Explorer results in a piteously:

Would it be an idea to have Windows Explorer display a miniturized overview of the complete workspace (or the last view on the canvas when saved) if a .fmw file is clicked and the preview pane is on? This for some people might recognize the overview better as the work they produced, at least better than the name of the .fmw file.
