My research showed that RootFolder has always been 9 since the new inventory 
management code was put in place about 8 years ago. If SL has always used 8 
for RootFolder it is suprising that this issue didn't get spotted and fixed 
years ago. I thought you just had to check for the parent folder ID for the 
value of zero UUID to find a root folder.

+1 to change the value of RootFolder if it is in keeping with that other 
grid and makes the life of viewer devs easier. The next question is what are 
you going to use as the value for Folder? It can't be 8 or you will have to 
check the parent folder ID to see if it really is a root folder or not.

Changing RootFolder's value before knowing the new value for Folder may be 
changing one problem for another.
