 There are a few things in Maestro that require additional clicks that
 shouldn't.  Ticket tagged as enhancement.

 1) When opening a new resource the dialog is too small to display
 everything - either add more height to the dialog (simple) or do add
 something more complex by detecting the current server version and
 displaying the possible combinations allowed (ie current and older) under
 each server.  I know you are exposing more options but the old right-click
 -> new layer was much quicker to use.

 2) Create default folder structure option.  For most projects a subfolder
 structure of \Data, \Layers, \Maps and \WebLayouts gives an alphabetical
 hierarchy that may be useful to create as a default (see below)

 3) Set default folder in "Open Resource" : when selecting a .FeatureSource
 from a layer or selecting a .MapDefinition for a Weblayout it would be
 beneficial to set the "Open Resource" folder into either the current
 folder or (if exists) the parent\logical folder such as .\..\Maps when
 selecting for a WebLayout

 4) Renaming resources.  What happened to in-line F2!  The new rename
 dialog would be fine if the existing name was used to pre-populate the
 "New Name" and the caret focus was set into this editbox.

 5) Layer Styles scale list.  The new listbox for the scale lists is a good
 redesign, but is massively high!  Even on a 1200 high resolution screen I
 have to scroll to see the min/max edit boxes - just make the layer scales
 listbox half as high with an auto scroll?

 Just ideas for consideration...
