add ability to collapse directories in the synchronisation view (GTK UI)
I use to synchronize directories that contain a lot of files. In the synchronization view, I see those folders and one row for each file in that folder. So this list tends to get very long.
It would be great to have an option to collapse that view into a folder tree, for example, or show only folders in that list.
This would improve usability a lot, imo.
The graphical user interfaces for unison do provide this feature, though the text UI does not.

How can I use this feature? I cannot see any possibility to collapse the file tree.
Unison File Synchronizer Version 2.48.4
Click the little arrow icons to the left of the file list.

Oh, drat -- I was looking at the Mac GUI. I thought the other GUI also had this functionality, but I must have misremembered. Sorry!
Actually, in my current version, 2.51.3 in Linux, there's even no indentation for files in the same directory... I remember that in previous versions, the indentation was there, as shown in the above screenshot... basically, now all files in the "Path" column have no indentations at all.
A lot has changed and I'm having trouble reading the history. I think but am not sure that improvements have been made which bear on this request, and in general we're starting to address things that aren't really serious, more so than earlier. A fresh assessment of the GTK3 UI and the mac UI would be appreciated, so we can rewrite this to be accurate.
@gdt I think the issue is still valid: in Linux GTK we have only a list of changes, no tree structure.
@gdt I'm afraid I can't work on that: I lack knowledge of Caml and GTK. ;) If no one from the project's developers can work on that, I can live with the current behavior.
I also think that this feature would be very useful! Two observations:
- Directories could be collapsed by default if all the arrows underneath point in the same direction.
- If for some reason the above is not possible, at least atomic directories could be collapsed by default.
