I tried to implement all options i found beside of `<minDiskFree unit="%">1</minDiskFree>` in options and folders because i didnt know how to implement that and also not `<encryptionPassword></encryptionPassword>` under folders.device. If someone could help me i would really like to see that :) Greetings

We need to rename every module option c1.c2.c3.<folder-path-set-by-user>.o1 to b1.b2.b3.b4.<folder-path-set-by-user>.o1.

The <folder-path-set-by-user> component is of course variable between different usages of the module. Is it possible to do this?
