[gollem] folder/directory "debate"

[Benoit St-André]

Hello everyone

I'm fiddling with a semantical problem (which leads to a translation 
problem) within Gollem.

Everywhere in Gollem, we are talking about the term "directory". The 
main problem about that is that most of the actual operating 
systems/window manager/file browsers are talking about "folder" instead 
of "directory".

Browsing all of Gollem files also shows a lot of mentions of the term 
"folder" everywhere, which seems to show that even the coders use it :-)

That may seem , but like in english, the translation of "directory" is 
not the same (and is not used very much) than the translation of 
"folders". And my opinion is, if a "normal user" can not understand the 
meaning of "Change directory" , it leads to usability problems.

If we agree on something, I could send a patchset for this.
