Rogbar,
After talking this over with my developer, here is what we are shooting for in version 1.2 or 1.5.

The ability to ‘Pin’ tabs like in Safari.

Pinned tabs would have settings for:

1) What filter to apply
2) Whether to show the filtered items a)parents and b)children or neither. Context items would be in grey.
3) The sort order to apply
4) Which columns to show
5) Which views to show (Outline, Calendar (month, year to begin with and later week and day), Timeline)
6) A unique icon to visually indicate something about the tab. We may not choose to make pinned tabs as small as they are in safari.

Also, we will add the ability to have fixed column widths in 1.1.

Thanks for everyones feedback, it definitely helps shape the product.

Thanks,
Peter
