Thanks for the hints, guys. Much appreciated.
@Rene: Take a look at the blog template design. IBM is not following it’s own “restrictions” …

Hi Ulrich!

With 8.5.1 we changed using the slash in the element name to the element alias. There is no “error” message.

I think it’s nescessary to follow the new IBM “restriction” because of the way they store file elements in the vfs.

The other backdoor:
add the Navigator view to your Domino perspective and add a folder there.
