Given that we have recently finished a release, and have a few months before the next release, now seems like a good time to add root directory passing to the VFS. I may be a bit impatient here, but I'm hesitant to be the one to make any API changes. That being said, I could go ahead and make the c

I've started picking up my fs_filter work again, but, particularly given the move away from individual filesystem servers toward VFS plugins, and the benefits (and partial implementation) of a dynamic VFS, I want to pursue that route (combined with a transparent link plugin) rather than the fs_filt

The fs_filter component responds by spawning the Qt file picker. When the user chooses a file, the file is add

Individual file access
