Yes, I now see the problem with folders like the public or addons svns. I think Ric had mentioned this earlier. These would be unusual for me in having deeply nested directories. I prefer to have lots of Folders and relatively shallow trees.
The simplest solution would be to have the list boxes dynamically sized, and failing that to allow the listboxes to be individually sized manually. Right now, you need to resize the entire window.
