[Recursive] Multiple folders select? #14

Open dreamer-cloud opened 2 weeks ago

dreamer-cloud commented 2 weeks ago

As an improvement to a recursive functionality, would it be much hassle to offer ability to select multiple folders which would showcase images from those folders in one view?

Example use scenario is when there's a large folder with 100 subfolders but user only wants to recursively view images from some of the subfolders, not all 100, thus he'd be able to just CMD+select only needed subfolders.

The current operating logic allows you to directly browse by clicking the directory on the left after enabling the "recursive mode." If manual folder selection is required, how should the operation process be designed? This needs to be explained more to the users. I need to make a choice, as some users can't even figure out that they can double-click to close the opened image!

MacOS Preview seems to be onto something in this regard, where multi-view mode button appears if multiple folders/items selected, gif of behavior attached
