You can add Flatten Folder to the context menu of both the folder tree and the file list by going to Tools > Configuration > Menus, Mouse, Usability > Context Menus, and then selecting the Folder Tree and/or the File List button.

But. It there a way to batch flattenfolder? I selected a bunch of folders and XY flatten to my root folder. I wanna to flatten on inside the folders that I selected.

Like this:

Root (where I am)
- [asset 01]
--- [maps]
------ file 01
------ file 02
--- [example]
----- file 03
----- file 04
- [asset 02]
--- [maps]
----- file 05
----- file 06
--- [example]
----- file 07
----- file 08

I want to compact like this:
- [asset 01]
--- file 01
--- file 02
--- file 03
--- file 04
- [asset 02]
--- file 05
--- file 06
--- file 07
--- file 08

Do you really think that [ ] means: Checkmark it? oO

Yes. It was Unmarked, than I tested, than I mark and none of this works. Then I print. I won't even bother in taking a new print, believe me if you want to.

Man, I gotta it, Im a CG teacher. I receive the exact same questions every single month from new students. You´re doing this for a long, long time and you probably tired of same questions...

Thrust me: If i´m here, loosing my time, humiliating myself asking for something that I know that I will not receive, that because I´m already searched and I didn´t found! Google, Help, forum... I´m struggling and reading, asking for the last three days to complete a simple task... Very, very disapointed! And my problem still not solved. Im only getting little jokes and impatient from you.

If you dont want do respond, please, let someone do. It will be more helpful ignoring me and leaving the topic opened. I´ll start a new post. This one gotta useless.

Grab a tea and stay safe.
