And directories are not distinct entities on a commandline. If we have told a
user that their document is a single file in the filemanager (because the FM
handles it as one), when they get to the commandline they're going to try to do
cp myfile.doc /mnt/zip and it's not going to work. Also having a directory
allows write access, name changing etc to the files.
