Applications folder to the filesystem?
Yes that would be possible. In fact, I had to disable the functionality in
Tracker for the virtual directories, since it is all tied together in
Tracker with the move functionality which wouldn't work with the read-only
directories. When I introduced it my focus wasn't to make the virtual
directories feature as complete and convenient as possible, but rather to
get an initial working implementation. There's a lot room for improvements
(there already are a few tickets).
In fact, the virtual directories could even be made writable by performing
the writes on the topmost of the stacked directories. In this case it
would allow e.g. manually creating symlinks directly in the virtual
directory, instead of having to open ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu to do
it there.
