If I set disable dotfiles so that this cookie at /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17 is false and I disable dotfiles so that the cookie at /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17/efranz is false then close both windows, next time I go to my home directory and try to enable dotfiles it immediately disables, preventing me from showing dotfiles. Since both cookies are available, when you set the cookie it modifies the /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17/efranz cookie but when you read cookies to see if dotfiles should be enabled it looks at /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17 which is false and thats why it can never be enabled.

The result is that when I go to https://websvcs08.osc.edu/pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17/efranz/ a cookie named dotfiles is created with the path /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17/efranz and then when I go to https://websvcs08.osc.edu/pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17 a separate cookies is created with the path set to /pun/sys/files/fs/nfs/17

This is probably the same problem that https://github.com/AweSim-OSC/osc-fileexplorer/issues/97 addresses.
