In much of the Orion server File API the "Directory" property is used to convey whether some file (or project) is a directory or not. Whenever the server provides this property the Orion client expects the value to be a literal boolean (true or false) and not a stringified boolean ("true" or "false"). However, in the case of the POST request against the /file service I noticed that the Orion client is sending the stringified boolean. It seems inconsistent for this property to have two different expected values depending on whether the information flows from the client or the server.
