SUMMARY

Hello
It would be a nice feature for the Folder view widget to have a recursive search. Together with the filter it could be useful for showing up specific files.
For example I could filter for *.kdenlive in my Projects folder (that contains folders with projects) to have a widget that displays Kdenlive projects, that I can quickly launch using it.

In fact it already has this. Check out the "filter" page in Folder View's config window.

I know about this tab, how I can setup it to show subfolders content too?
I tried typing * into file name pattern and selecting Godot Engine Project file type, and it shows a ./godot.project file from the folder, but not from the subfolders like ./squash-the-creeps/project.godot (in this case . means reative to the dir seklected in settings).

Got it, thanks. Bug guess what, you can already do that too! Check it out.

First, open Dolphin and hit Ctrl+F. Now search for the thing you want to find, like "*.kdenlive". Hit Ctrl+L to show the URL for that search and copy it. Then paste it into the "Custom location" field in the Folder View's "Location" page in its settings window.

Anything other than this would be out of scope, but hopefully it works for your use case.
