Yes, the terminology varies between platforms, but this is more about 
our being consistent in LyX itself. I don't think we want to get into 
changing the text for different OSs.

My understanding is that "directory" refers to a file system object, 
whereas "folder" generally refers to a GUI-related object, which may or 
may not correspond to an actual directory. E.g., sometimes there is a 
Printers folder.
