Basically what the subject says. Custom Labels aren't working with folders. I tried at first using <Folder>, the line returned was blank. I did some testing, and it's pretty much the same with others such as <Creation>, <Modified> and even <Filename> (even though non-custom "filename" and "file created date" work). The custom labels do work with images though.
Hope this helps.
Custom Labels not working with folders

Ok so this is the intended behaviour?
In that case, is there a way to have a filename/foldername label only on folders? The folder name is essential for folders because you can't tell what's in them by the thumbnail, whereas image thumbnails tell me everything I need to know.
I know the default behavior for labels is to add a line under the thumbnail, even if that line is blank. In that case, having a label only for folders is counter-productive since it's going to take the same screen space as one for all file types. It would basically be a worse filename label. But, if implemented with an option to show a label line only if there is something to display, you'd save some thumbnail display space and display only the important information. A minimalistic approach, if you want.
Of course, now we enter suggestion territory. It would be nice if you took that into consideration.
Thanks
