when trying to add programs or folders to the list, you have to click
the add button and navigate through all the folders and find your way
around the bushes and trees of obscure programs.

Why can't we just drag and drop to the list like normal windows lets
you?

not only that, but during this navigation, whenever you click a
folder, it zooms your focus so that the selected item is at the bottom
of the list. totally impractical and annoying. if you open a folder,
you want to see what its contents are. so it should be at the top of
the list, not bottom.

I don't know why you don't do this? Please try ;)

i see the problem. you can do this if you drop to the "list area", but
not the part above it.
When you first instal it, there really isn't any items in the "list
area" so all of it is pretty much not-doable.
only after you grow your list, does the "list area" grow.
I think this is hard for first-time users to catch.

I think it would be better if the entire area was valid and considered
"the list area", just like how the default windows treats it - all of
it is the valid list area, with "empty slots", rather than having a
separate list area, and a blank area where drops are invalid.
