It seems very easy and when you have a few thousand folders (directories) underneath, it can be time consuming if you are waiting to all the repeated folders and files show up. I need to get only folders, preferable unique names.
Using a generic search seems quite slow.
Do you want to hide files from the current directory?
Or do you want to show all folders below the current directory, including ones in sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, and so on?
What do you mean by the requirement for unique names?
I want to list all folders, sub-folders, etc., no files names, they are the full folder name, including the path. I want to be able to find particular folders. Unique because I don't want to get a folder name for each one of the files underneath. I don't want to see all the repeats of them. And I don't need to hide them.
Something like this will toggle between normal and the kind of thing you want:
@if:Set FLATVIEW=Grouped
Set FLATVIEW=Off
Set HIDEFILTERFILENAME
Set FORMAT=!folder
@if:else
Set FLATVIEW=Grouped
Set HIDEFILTERFILENAME=*
Set COLUMNSREMOVE=path,pathrel
Set COLUMNSADD=fullpath(1)
Change Grouped
(on first line and again near the middle) to Mixed
if you don't want the Name column to be indented for sub-folders.
