Hey Bart,

sorry to hear that; I've also been waiting for multi level folder structures 
to appear again. I'd strongly vote for going that extra mile.

One question, though: why should it be difficult to represent multi level 
folders by simple string labels? Any folder in my file system can be 
represented by a simple string: /foo/bar/xxx.
Of course, in this scenario, renaming such a "folder" might require touching a 
lot more labels than only the ones of its direct content.

But, as I stated already, I'd be very glad if someone could and would go and 
implement that.

Just my 2 ct

Andreas
