could you explain a bit more about this? i'm not sure what you mean precisely

is this a sort of "live search" where there is a grouping of icons based on a 
a set of search terms?

what would be involved in autosaving, and what constitutes "every change"?

i'd really like to see only 3 levels of zoom, based on the idea of groupings 
of objects: 100%, which shows a single grouping taking up 100% of a given 
screen; "50%" which shows various groups and allows panning, items are 
perhaps reduced to representative icons and can be dragged between 
groups; "overview" where each grouping it reduced to an iconic 
representation. clicking on a group in overview should zoom in on it to 100%.

this should keep zoom/pan simple interaction-wise as well as useful. what do 
you think?
