OK… I may be missing something, but how does one create a folder within DTP? I see other items under file. I do not see “new folder”
If I have items in my inbox and want to move them, but an appropriate folder does not already exist, I’ve been creating one on the desktop and dragging it into the right location.
I am writing this in requests, in case it does not exist. At this point, I do not see where folder creation exists. But hey… I’ve missed such basic things in other programs before.
The difference is terminology is also to keep you from falling into the trap of thinking that a group is just like a Finder folder, and a document is just like a Finder file.
For example, replication of a group or document is very different from creating an alias of a folder or file.
I understand what is being said. I really do, but I think it is fair to say that the items within a folder are actually the “group.” Group implies more than one item or whatever. I merely think of a folder as the container, or holder of items only— which may or may not actually be only one. I have a lot of folders with one item in it.
But when I see the icon shaped, and identical to a Finder folder, I think folder and not group. Ya know… if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck… etc.
It just seems confusing, or pointless rather, to change the name of something, that everyone who uses Apple Computers would recognize as a folder.
Again… Not trying to cause a dispute, nor will I say more on it. I just disagree Is all As I do not find the term intuitive.

To me “folder” is an overused desktop/office-centric term. “Group” sounds more generic, with less (possibly inaccurate) assumed meaning. The use of manilla folder icons to represent groups in DEVON products is questionable since they’re not called folders, but that’s an acceptable compromise.
