Title: [SOLVED] Files View customisation: trim folders tree
Post by: afora on October 02, 2022, 11:25:49 pm

I have a default Files View which shows two libraries with my audio files:

Code: [Select]

C:/media/ks/data/documents/music/artistfolder[1/2/...]/
D:/media/ks/SAM-1/2-AUDIO/repo/artistfolder[A/B/...0]/
which forces me to click 6 times every time i need to drill down to the level of artist folders. Is it possible to trim the tree in the View to exclude the beginning of the paths shared in those two locations so the user sees only this:

Code: [Select]

music/artistfolder[1/2/...]/
repo/artistfolder[A/B/...0]/
A few "solutions" I found do not work as they flatten the tree in the View to a list, and with my thousands of folders this will not work. One is here:

Many thanks!

Found a hack on the OS level for this.

On Linux I created a maintenance folder where I softlinked both locations at the level I want the folder tree in the File View to start. Then I added that new folder to autoimport and removed the old 2 entries from auto-import.

Then in Files View I edited Location and replaced an empty File Path with the location where the folder tree starts now. It now shows as pruned as I wanted it to be.

Done
