There is a desire from many users to replace the part of the Journal UI that represents files on thumb drives and SD cards as if they were Journal entries, instead of what they actually are, which is files within directories. I suggest that only Journal entries should be represented as such, and that thumb drives and SD cards should be represented conventionally.

There is a desire from many users to replace the part of the Journal UI that represents files on thumb drives and SD cards as if they were Journal entries, instead of what they actually are, which is files within directories. Representing these files as if they are Journal entries creates an expectation in the user that they will behave as Journal entries do, and in fact they do not. It also makes it difficult, perhaps impossible, to deal with directories on the thumb drive or SD card.
