Description Antti Savolainen 2020-09-03 18:06:56 UTC
SUMMARY
This functionality would allow you to view every file in that folder and in every subfolder at the same time. This would be useful when you want to for example organize images to categories but browse them all in a big pile to select the correct one. This idea is inspired by the feature with the same name found in Kyno https://lesspain.software/kyno/ https://youtu.be/L9VysWRHPdI?t=128

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click a folder
2. Select "Drilldown"

EXPECTED RESULT
All files in the folder and every subfolder is shown side by side and can be sorted by name or modification date
Comment 1 Antti Savolainen 2020-11-07 15:11:10 UTC
I found a good use case to justify this feature:
When browsing `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/` for icons, you have several folders and some programs only put icons in one or two folders. If you want to find the source file of a certain icon you find in in the system icon browser, you have look through a massive amounts of folders. Here's where drill down comes in handy. It opens all of the folders at the same time and you can easily browse those icons with your eyes.
