When you want to solve this on device driver level, the driver has to _know_ a directory has been opened with an aliased name. In the DIR case, I firmly believe it doesn't (but please do correct me if I'm wrong). My assumption was that it is within the flow of the DIR command that the aliasing happens (and DIR opens the directory with the unaliased name - which makes it rather impossible for the driver to handle this properly).

But then you have to do the same for QPAC2, QMenu, ...
