When the group loader auto creates groups in the sql list, there is a new attribute where you can set group metadata (display name and description). Note: the display name is the display path, with the display extension of each parent stem.

An extra columns sounds good. If the complete display name, e.g.

fu-berlin:central_services:computer_centre:auto|FU
Berlin:Central Services:Computer Centre:automatic|123456

would that form a reasonable basis for setting display names for the folders and groups?
