Re: flat view: show all files at the same level without folders

some examples where flat view comes handy:

- show letters only task: activate flat view, then filter for files & extensions including all sub folders (e.g. show only *.doc files)
- find latest file change: activate flat view, change to detail view, now sort for creation date to see which file was created recently
- sort files by size / find duplicate files task: activate flat view, change to detail view, now sort for file size to figure out which file is the biggest, same sized files could be duplicates
- clean up download folder task: the download folder contains a huge amount of files in many sub folders, now activate flat view then filter for certain files e.g. *.pdf, CTRL+A to select all pdf files, drag & drop to previously created favorite "manuals & howtos" folder in navigation panel.
- cleanup nested zip file task: you receive a zip file created with the option to preserve file structure, after unzipping a zip file several sub folders containing files are created, the file structure is not longer needed, therefore activate flat view, CTRL+A, CTRL+X, CTRL+C to paste all files into one single folder, zip it again and send it to your friend.

as you see the possibilities are endless...
