I see it as a major problem when having two folder icons named "Musik" inside 
one view. No matter whether the user did this on purpose or not: as soon as 
this case occurs, the user has a problem.

More important is the answer to the question what should happen when the user 
renames a folder. Should the name property of the .directory entry be renamed 
or the name of the folder? Now combined with the above use case when having a 
folder named "Music" showing "Musik" (because of the .directory entry) and 
having a second folder named "Musik" (without a .directory entry), then the 
outcome of renaming a folder is unpredictable...

Best regards,
Peter
