Open directly subfolder if folder is empty (recursively)
Posted: 29.04.2016, 15:12
Hello Marek and all others,
one feature i need when i work with Java projects is the possibility to go to the first not-empty subfolder when i open an empty folder.
This would save a lot of clicks.
E.g. In Java projects (but not only Java...) I have often the following situation:
C:\workspace\project1\emptyFolder1\emptyFolder2\emptyFolder3\emptyFolder4\FolderWithFiles\Main.java
Where, as the name suggests, the emptyFolderX are folders without files, needed just to create the project structure (often the name of emptyFolder1 is "src").
Now, it would be nice if an option would allow to click on emptyFolder1 and freeCommander would automatically open all the subfolders untill he reaches:
C:\workspace\project1\emptyFolder1\emptyFolder2\emptyFolder3\emptyFolder4\FolderWithFiles\
In this situation, if user wants to go on emptyFolder3, (s)he can click on the clickable address and will reach it quite easily.
But in most of the cases, user wants to arrive to FolderWithFiles without too many clicks.
Developement tools often offer this possibility (some, as Eclipse can even group the empty folders, but in case of freeCommander this would be too much).
