Thanks for the feedback! The tip on <label for="rfi">folders/files</label> is great. I'd seen these guys but hadn't realized what they were good for.
Agree / leading folders is bad. Need something. ./ would be ok, but perhaps just some or even a special and quiet symbol. Will need time to take on all your ideas.

This can be done by using the <label> tag. E.g.: > <input id="rfi" value="rfi" type="radio" ...> <label > for="rfi">folders/files</label> > <input id="rp" value="rp" type="radio" ...> <label for="rp">~paths</label> > > I wonder if the current display of sub-folders of the current folder (with > a leading '/') might be misleading as a path starting with '/' often usually > means that the path starts from the root.
