But that just changes the icon name in the main app screen - it doesn't change the name of the title in the folder itself. I realise I can delete and recreate the folder I want with the title I want, but if there's a quicker way to do it by editing a file, I'd prefer that. I looked in /opt/meefolders/desktop but no luck. Also if it gives the possibility to change the order of icons within a folder.

The values are stored in a SQLite database. The values in the desktop files depend on the values in the database, not the other way around. Changing the values in the desktop files will have no effect on the database. Also, the name of the desktop file is formed using the hex value of the name string, and this hex value is passed as an argument when launching the folder to determine which folder to display. In short, it's best not to mess with the files. I'll add an option to edit the folder name/icon in the application.
