Comment (by jscipione):

 Thinking about this a bit more, even setting the

 {{{
 application/x.vnd.Be-directory
 }}}

 attribute on every folder in the system is going to be fragile since
 directories can get created in a number of ways and the attribute is bound
 to get out of sync with reality. Perhaps someone can correct me here if
 I'm wrong.

 I'm not sure how well this feature worked on BeOS, but, perhaps a better
 solution would be to update the Find dialog filter based on the stat
 information rather than look for the

 {{{
 x-vnd.Be-directory
 }}}

 attribute, it would even work on FS's that don't support attributes.
