Replying to [comment:10 jscipione]:
> 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.
The attribute would normally get set the same way as it does on any other
untyped filesystem object, namely via mime sniffing rules. As such, the
risk of them getting "out-of-sync" is no different/greater than for any
other type, so this line of reasoning really doesn't make sense.

solution would be to update the Find dialog filter based on the stat
information rather than look for the
That would completely break most of the benefits of BFS queries, as it'd
reduce Find to having to crawl the whole filesystem, doing a stat() on
each file. This would be hideously inefficient.
