Comment:

 This is actually unrelated to shine-through directories. It's just a
 missing feature of Tracker's virtual directory feature. I implemented only
 the minimum functionality needed for the Haiku menu.

 Cf. the [http://cgit.haiku-
 
os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/tracker/PoseView.cpp?id=228df78b0ec9bfc71f5a051bc778d6e01f792f92#n5058
 TODO in the code]. It might at the first glance look easier to solve than
 it is. The problem is that what looks like directory entries are actually
 temporary virtual directory files, which would have to be resolved somehow
 (to the top-most of the merged directories?).

 I thought that there are tickets for the shortcomings of the current
 implementation, but I can't find them ATM.
