V13.1 - What does the "Other Cloud Folders" setting do?

Under "Folders -> Special Folders" it tells me that I can add cloud folders that aren't on my Desktop (which is most of them). But what does this setting actually do?

It doesn't make these folders show up under "Cloud Storage" (which, I feel, it really should), they can't be organized or rearranged like the Desktop folders, and it doesn't seem to change anything about the appearance or handling of the added folders either. So what is this setting for?

P.S.: The "select folder" dialog that's used for this and many other settings, managed to completely freeze and lock up Directory Opus many, many times now for some reason - not sure what's causing this.

It changes which folder format is used. See the bottom of here for more detail:

(You can push F1, or use the menu at the top-right, to open information about what the current Preferences page does.)

Re the freeze, please make some process snapshots and send them to us if that happens again:
