(Please put a "wishlist" tag to this)

We know the font browser is cool. I like the favourites list in the datasource browser. Caching external data? Hell yeah.

But.

As of now, there is no (simple) way to add new icons (SVG/PNG files for the point and marker symbolizers) if you can't write to the data/ directory in the server TileMill is running.

Thus, a millstone-powered way to download icons or iconsets, plus a browser not unlike the font browser (copy&paste URL, let millstone resolve) would be a very welcome addition. I just dream of dropping icon miniatures to the point-file fields in the .mss editor.
