Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a bit unhappy with the current "folder content view". There's no possibility to filter out the folders, to get directly to the file I'm looking for. See my screenshot: I'd like to open a log file from the Windows folder, but since there are plenty of sub folders in C:\Windows and the filter affects only files (which is good and should be kept this way), I need to scroll down to the end.

Describe the solution you'd like
Equally to the option "Use full tree" add another option "Hide folders in content view".
Checking this box would lead to just showing files in the lower view, where the complete folder content is shown now. Unchecking (default) would keep the current behavior.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None, Explorer plugin is pretty useful, as it is - it could just be a little bit better in some scenarios.

Additional context
I read the discussion here: #65
I understand, that it may be also valuable to see the complete folder contents, e.g. sub folders and files. From a developer's view, it's probably preferred. As an admin, looking for one special file or file type, it has its difficulties.

So provide an additional option to filter out folders, but keep the current content of files and folders the default would be fine.
