 So instead of type a file name transparently, you have to type
 
 "File:Name:\$ATTRTYPE:\$ATTRNAME"
 
 And every applications that deal with files have to be rewritten to detect 
 the file system and in case of been in ntfs use
 
 "File:Name:\$ATTRTYPE:\$ATTRNAME"
 
 And this seems to be the correct fix.
 
 Sorry, but I don't get it.
