Show all files of subfolders as thumbnails + group by folder

#1 Post by temporalnaut » 02.11.2020, 18:39

Hi, I have a folder that contains subfolders with product images. I need to view all the files of these subfolders at once, as thumbnails, grouped by folder, and be able to rename the images. In windows explorer, I use a thing that when I'm in a folder that contains subfolders, I type a dot in the search field, all the files in the subfolders are displayed, and then I choose to display the files as thumbnails, grouped by folder. Can FC do something like that? I would stay with win explorer, but it combines some results as if it were the same subfolder based on a hyphen in the name. well thank you

there is no "group by" but you can sort by containing folder, which gives you a very similar effect IMHO

You are right, it's similar in details view, but in thumbnails view it's not visible, which thumbnails belong to one folder and which to another, they are just sorted by containing folder.

The only workaround could be using the status bar Relative path info, but it works only for focused file/thumbnail.
