Default Folder Item

Folders can be assigned a default file property.

Most servers allow a file of a particular name be served as a default for a URL that points to a folder.

Since the referenceing feature of Ringmaster depends on unique names, it is problematic to have many files named index.html or default.html.

However it is still often useful to refer to a folder directly.

If you use a Ringmaster reference to refer to a folder object, the resulting URL will end in a "/"

This leaves which file is to be served served up to the server.

However in Ringmaster there is a option to provide a similar convenience as the default file name.

If you assign a default file property to a folder, any ringmaster reference to that folder will render as a URL to the file you specified. This is a folder to folder preference, and is a property specific to the "Folder" property set.
