Fast forward open dir
Now what is this? It's a quite unusual feature request. Due to a given project structure I often face folder structures that only contain one subfolder and this subfolder contains only one subfolder and this subfolder contains only - guess what. It's stupid to play the down+enter game again and again.
It would be nice to have a special command that goes down until there is something else but a single folder.
In the IDE these paths can be combined to a single level but I guess this would be difficult for a file manager.

Search Syntax:
test childfoldercount:0
Searches for test with 0 subfolders.
I have TC integrated in Everything so I can jump to the dirs found.
Also the FSE plugin can be used together with Everything.
I use Everything version 1.4.0.716b (x64)

Thanks for all replies but again - I didn't ask for existing EXTERNAL solutions. I asked for an internal solution.
How is this related? I just want to go to the folder where is more than one subfolder - no branching.Is there anything that the branch view doesn't do in this scenario?

This criteria doesn't help. It mainly about > 1 not 0. I also don't understand how it helps me to navigate inside TC.test childfoldercount:0
Searches for test with 0 subfolders.

Surprise surprise. Do you really think I'm not aware that it can be done with a script or program?script

Well what is the direction you want TC to evolve? Everyone creating individual solutions on top? We already had that for years.
I'm fine with a with a script/external program in this case when Ghisler decides that it's to special. Otherwise anyone could benefit.
It's just superfluous to write that it can be done other than internally. Hail to Captain Obvious!
So to sum it up. This subforum is to make suggestions how to improve TC. Is this so difficult to understand?

To my understanding you want to go the the last sub-dir in a tree which does not contain more sub-dirs..Lefteous wrote:2ZoSTeRHow is this related? I just want to go to the folder where is more than one subfolder - no branching.Is there anything that the branch view doesn't do in this scenario?

Using TC plugin FSE together with Everything I can do exactly this.
But may be I don't understand your wish.
TC 9 supports Everything and so it may also work like my example.

All these folders contain only a single subfolder but 'controller' contains quite a few files. This is the folder where I want to go to.
Again no. It looks like we need an example. The structure is something likeTo my understanding you want to go the the last sub-dir in a tree which does not contain more sub-dirs..

Just explain in detail how the command look like. Unfortunately I cannot use Everything in env. but it might help others.Using TC plugin FSE together with Everything I can do exactly this.

supercool-company childfoldercount:0
That would match any folder containing supercool-company with no further sub-dir, so its the deepest level containg your sources.
But in your last posting you said something about file system plugins you have to use. Everything by default indexes only NTFS but can also index available shares with its folder indexing feature.
