directory ? ? ?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

Richmond is right, there is no entry for directory, only for  
defaultFolder. The reason is that in most if not in all cases there  
is no separate xml file for synonyms. Should be easy to solve by  
duplicating entries that have synonyms and storing these duplicates  
under the names of these synomyms. If you reported this to QC and if  
I still had some votes left, I'd vote for it.

Best,

Mark
