Hi all,

After some more experimenting, I found the solution myself.
To add a directory description (and/or an icon), without showing the manifest.xml, do the following:
- move the content from the directory_with_description to a subdirectory inside the directory (ex: to dir_with_descr/content_dir/)
- add following manifest.xml to the directory_with_description (ex: in dir_with_descr/manifest.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<package>
	<dc-metadata>
		<Title>Title of the Directory</Title>
		<Description>Description of the Directory</Description>
		<Date>2007-01-01T00:00:00</Date>
	</dc-metadata>
	<y-metadata>
		<image/>
		<version>000</version>
	</y-metadata>
	</metadata>
	<directory>
		<content>content_dir</content>
	</directory> 
</package>

So to sum it up, the directory structure should be:

	- dir_with_descr
		+ manifest.xml
		+ content_dir
			+ file1.pdf
			+ file2.pdf
			...

When I tried this, I expected that it would be impossible to leave the subdir once you entered it, because when you go up one directory, you would be redirected to the subdir - I thought. But it seems the iRex people thought of that too ... because it works fine!

Another tiny tip: If you want to enter a description with two lines, just use the xml line feed ( 
 ) or carriage return ( 
 ).
