Similar to stored queries, files of the virtual directory type behave like directories -- i.e. they open in a list-mode Tracker window and show up as an item with submenu in navigation menus. The file itself is a plain text file in driver settings format. It can have an arbitrary number of "directory" entries, which specify the paths of (actual) directories for which the virtual directory provides a merged view. The view will not show duplicate entries. For non-directory entries the first one encountered (according to the order the directory paths are specified in the file) will be shown. A subdirectory entry will again behave like a virtual directory. The support in Tracker isn't perfect yet. I'm afraid major refactoring would be necessary to get it there. The virtual directory file type uses a differently colored version of the folder icon. Alternatives welcome.
