Attributes for folders such as creation and mod dates, and add an extral level between a folder and its subs. This conforms to the JSON structure we use for outlines so it should just plug right into LO2, which was the plan.

Changed the test script to run from the root folder of the project instead of a sub-folder. Makes debugging much easier.
