In JSON speak, the 'label:' field is shown, not the actual directory name.

I've been on IRC/#xbmc, and it seems you have to call Files.GetDirectory with the media: "files" parameter to get the label filled with the filename instead of the album name.
Ok... Got it reproduced now... Thing is, if I use "files" instead of the appropriate media type, I don't get any thumbnails any more and the files are shown by their filename including filename extension without regarding tag information. I don't think I want to sacrifice this. In my opinion XBMC should be changed to show the contents exactly like the UI does when the mediatype is used.
