Description
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...

Very nice!
When you have a folder *open* in the tree and click "Create Standard Folder Structure" on the folder then the default folders are created but it is not apparent as you need to do a manual refresh. Could the parent folder be automatically refreshed if it is expanded (please)?
