Virtual Folder

A virtual folder is a folder that appears as a normal folder. You can browse it and construct links from items in the folder. However, the content of the folder is actually taken not from a single user directory, but from an overlay. Subfolders within virtual folders are again virtual folders in the general meaning.

In the Foldie app, the term ‘virtual folder’ is mostly used specifically for complex virtual folder definitions. Sometimes we also mean overlays (virtual folder definitions or default overlays). And sometimes we mean virtual folder in the sense above.
