-Implement use of fncache (use names from it - perhaps, would help for Mac issues Alex mentioned) along with 'digest'-ing long file names

 Status operation from GUI - guess, usually on a file/subfolder, hence API should allow for starting path (unlike cmdline, seems useless to implement include/exclide patterns - GUI users hardly enter them, ever)
