I just wasted several hours trying to figure out how to get a "pretty" name for each directory. I had assumed you could change Name independantly of Full_Name, but it didn't work for me. Anyway, I added a new column to the Category table called "Display_Name".
So now, not only can you define categories using %xxxx% format, you can set up a display name for each as well with the same method. Display_Name takes the place of 'category_short'.
example:
Format Result
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%yyyy% 2006
%yyyy%/%mmmm% 2006/September
%yyyy%/%mmmm%/%dd% 2006/September/26
Name Format: %yyyy%/%mmmm% %yyyy%/%dddd%, %mmmm% %dd%, %yyyy%
Format category_short Display_Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
%yyyy% 2006 2006
%mmmm% %yyyy% September September 2006
%dddd%, %mmmm% %dd%, %yyyy% 26 Tuesday, September 26, 2006
