Hi, I was just playing with the great new Auto Sensing bar feature on the new TLB beta. Fantastic for opening P2P program download folders! 
However, the way I expected it to swap bars was according to the title text of the active window. Would this be a useful addition?
Perhaps, say.. Each time you look over your website, you want the programs and folders to hand for editing it. Also, easy access to Javascript, HTML and Perl reference sites. The title bar of the browser will indicate what site you're on. A TLB could change when the active window title includes *yoursitename.com* or *Your Site Name* (with the asterixes as wildcards.)
Or.. You're browsing files in explorer. The name (and path, optionally) of the current folder is shown in the title bar. A TLB (maybe attached to the explorer window?) changes to make related programs, files and folders quickly available.
Or.. You want your skins folder when looking at the TLB skins page.. or plugins folder when looking at the plugins. Getting to these could be made easier by having a TLB swap for title bars which include *Skins Library* or *plugin*
No doubt some people have *really* frequent tasks they do which could be made easier by an 'active window title' sensitive bar.
