Description changed by kpreid:

Old description:

> In the WUI, the only identifier of a directory when you are viewing is
> its storage index. This identifier is not displayed when you are viewing
> a directory containing it. I propose that the storage index of a
> directory be displayed (deemphasized) whenever it is listed in another
> directory, so that it is easier to correlate different views than click-
> and-see-where-the-link-goes or visually comparing URLs.

New description:

 In the WUI, the only identifier of a directory when you are viewing is its
 storage index. This identifier is not displayed when you are viewing a
 directory containing it. I propose that the storage index of a directory
 be displayed (deemphasized) whenever it is listed in another directory, so
 that it is easier to correlate different views than click-and-see-where-
 the-link-goes or visually comparing URLs.

 Furthermore, if #1178 is done, then the storage index may also/instead be
 used as an icon for the directory (perhaps with the addition of icons for
 files, for consistency.)
