I thought of this tweak when the iPhone first came out. It was annoying and slowed my maneuvering.

However I have to disagree with you. I bet some folks like having the folder stay open. After I downloaded the apps I needed and got my springboard broken in and folders arragend properly, I find that the folder staying open is intuitive and logical most times. However sometimes it is not...so therefore it really should be a tweak or option.....or perhaps that is what you are saying....that it should be an option as opposed to saying that they should have thought through the user interface for a better solution.

Either way, I personally think it is a happy medium, and i like it much better than the other solutions such as categories, pogo plank or karakae or whatever it was called.

To each his own. I don't tend you use a lot of apps from the same folder consecutively. I go there because I want to use something and then I want out. I agree that Apple could have put this in as an option, but for those of us that were annoyed by the default behavior of the folders, this is very welcome. Great tweak!
