[FR] Per-directory recursive option

Open Copy-link opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Right now, when performing an operation on a list of directories, there is a Recursive option, but only for the search as a whole. You can't set one directory to search for files recursively, and another directory to not do so.

One of the operations I wanted to do was for my main images folder without recursion and one of the directories inside that folder with recursion, so this is an inconvenient limitation.

I can't find any software that have such feature. From code perspective, this feature would add unnecessary complication with very little benefits(In most of situations, reorganizing folder structure is sufficient to use currently available features)

Duplicate Cleaner Pro has it, but of course, that's not open source. I can't say I understand why you feel that way, but I guess my directory organization is just a lot different from yours.
