[suggestion] Show flattened subfolders in folder pane

Open lofidevops opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Problem statement: Navigating nested folders prevents seeing all files at once.

Suggested solution:

  • Library pane shows only top-level folder (root folder).
  • Folder pane shows: files in top-level folder, header for each subfolder, under each header, the files in that subfolder.
  • Edit pane remains the same.

This would be useful, for example, opening a typical code repository with a README.md in the root folder, and a bunch of Markdown files in the docs subfolder. All Markdown files would be visible without navigation. I imagine it would be useful for someone writing a book using subfolders, but I may be mistaken.

If the motivation or suggestion is unclear, let me know and I will draft a more detailed example. If it doesn't fit in the roadmap, oh well.
