We don't forbid to add those properties on folders. We just don't show
them in the combobox as valid properties. That's because they're only
valid if the 'recursive' option is set, and even then they're not set on
the selected folder but on the files below it.
So, I think documenting this should be enough. After all, user's who
don't know what they're doing shouldn't be helped with setting such
props recursively.
