I am not sure about this. This would mean that any device connected to me can and will, by selecting the “introducer functionallity” connect to all the devices I know, and all the devices these know… and so on.@calmh worte here: [v0.9.18 Introducer Nodes](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/v0-9-18-introducer-nodes/974/7)

Thats why i think/tought that the devices are announced per folder.

The functionallity i mentioned would show the user, which folders and devices would be introduced, if _the other side_ would select the introducer mode.

Yes, i understand. I meant that this is also adding more visuablity: Which device is added to which folder.
