Here is my entry for the WorkBench wishlist.  I have been meaning
for a long time now to try it out on my machine to see if it works
now before I post it.  It always seemed that I would never remember
when my machine was around.  Well ... last night I remembered and
it doesn't work.     

We should be able to drag icons on to the WorkBench screen and 
'snapshot' them there so whenever you insert that disk into the
drive, not only will the disk icon appear, but so will any other
project/tool/drawer icons that you snapshotted onto the WorkBench.
This can't be too difficult to implement can it?  It sure would make
things a lot easier.  For example, I use the PD 'FlamKey' to lock
up my machine when I leave it.  Now I have to open the disk, open the
drawer, then click on the icon.  I wish I could just snapshot it onto
the WorkBench.  This would be especially useful for hard-drive owners
whose favorite tools are five and six levels deep in the file system.
Almost makes me happy I don't have a hard disk ;-)

The icon being on the WorkBench should still know where everything
lives (i.e. what path it came from).  This path could possibly be
stored in the 'info'.
