Would it be possible to expand the current command:
Set FLATVIEW=Toggle,MixedNoFolders
so it will do the same but just on selected folders and not the all subfolders within a folder.

Not easily, but you can use Find to get a list of files below specific folders, if you don't need it to be a "live" list like Flat View gives you.
Thanks.
Bad luck then.
The idea behind this was that I wanted to batch rename files that are within -say- 4 subfolders out of a list of say 20 other subfolders.
The workaround now is to move those 4 to a separate empty subfolder, do the rename there using the above toggle show files only.

I use a button for this, using the method Leo described.
If folders bother you, you can hide them after the find by running an advanced selection with a filter that matches folders or alter the find command to use a filter that excludes folders.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="both" separate="yes" textcol="none">
<label>Flat-View-Find</label>
<tip>Find-All in selected items to flat collection</tip>
<icon1>#find2</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>@disablenosel</instruction>
<instruction>Find RECURSE NAME=* COLLNAME "FlatView-Cache/FlatView-Selected" SHOWRESULTS source,tab IN {allfilepath$}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
Sorry for the delay.
This is really wonderful!!
Thank you so much.
Exactly what I am looking for.
I am using this, for example, to rename files after {parent1} folder (plus seq#)
or needcase after {parent2}-{parent1}-[#]
Anyway, thanks a lot!
