Explorer: Support compact folder rendering #41627

Closed

Description

@gulshan

If a directory has a single directory as a child, please provide an option for showing them merged together in the file tree. So, instead of showing this-

+ com
  + domain
    + app
       File1
       File2

the file tree will look like-

+ com/domain/app
   File1
   File2

    Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn) Please mention the other issue with same request, so that I can at least put my vote there.

    Gulshan (@gulshan) please use our issue search. I would do the same, use the files-explorer tag to narrow down the search. Thanks

    Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn) Actually I do have searched before posting this issue, after closure of this issue as duplicate and again a while ago using the label you mentioned. And yet unable to find any other issue requesting same feature. The closest thing I got is #6328 requesting "file nesting" which is a different feature.

    @isidorn

    Gulshan (@gulshan) you are correct, I made a mistake of thinking this is file nesting
    Reopening.

    This has landed in master, behind a explorer.compressSingleChildFolders setting. It's coming out soon on Insiders so please give it a try and let us know if you hit any issues:

    Now that this has been implemented, does that mean that #6328 will be next?

    ExE Boss (@ExE-Boss) Unfortunately it doesn't mean that.

    @isidorn

    @Md-Tahazzot please use the following setting "explorer.compactFolders": false

    @Tylerian

    ExE Boss (@ExE-Boss) Unfortunately it doesn't mean that.

    Why is the Team so reticent on implementing that feature? It's very well waited by the community and just a few dozen lines of code, heck, it even has been pull requested multiple times...

    @the-kenny

    Jairo Tylera (@Tylerian) this issue isn't the place to discuss the implementation of another issue...

    @bradisbell

    Please don't make "clever" UI hacks like this default in the future. It's seemingly impossible to create a new folder on a new project, and then get to the root level folder to edit files. Clicking on the root of the project doesn't fix anything, even though it's underlined.

    I'm all for a customizable IDE, but the amount of time wasted trying to figure out what config file to undo things like this is really frustrating. It should not be a default.
