Uhm, perhaps still not enough.... The problem is the treeview (again ;/). We 
would need to emit started for every dir that is opened - which is not really 
possible because the files are not neccessarily sorted by directory in the 
file list. So I'd emit started() only for the base url and then a single 
completed(). Hmpf, why is there always a small problem that prevents you 
being consitent over the whole class... ;-/
