Branch View - How to set folder depth

Is there a way to set the dept that branch view shows?
I have a few folders, which I want to combine into a single branch view. But, I don't want to see all the sub directories of those folder. Maybe just the top, or 1 level down.
Is this possible?

In branch view your address bar shows /:flat
at the end
Extend it to:
/md=0:flat
md=n -> maxdepth, n = levels to show
Here is a simple script that allows you to switch the folder depth in branch view by entering a number (default = 0):
Code: Select all
$ab = tab("get", "term");
$level = input("Enter recursion level...", "0 = No recursion<crlf>1 = One level deep<crlf>...", 0);
if !(regexmatches($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)")) { $ab = replace($ab, "/:flat", "/md=$level:flat"); }
else { $ab = regexreplace($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)(\d)", "$1$level"); }
goto $ab;

"Extend it to:

where is n there in the command

There is already an example in the script...
Code: Select all
"0 = No recursion<crlf>1 = One level deep<crlf>..."

Hi, sorry for necroposting, but I came across this thread and using highend's script I made a couple alterations that I'd like to share:
Original script with a couple modifications (removed the colon from the "/:flat" string in the replace and added a "*" in "\d" in the regexreplace to work correctly when dealing with recursion levels above 9)
Code: Select all
// Get path
$ab = tab("get", "term");
//Ask for user input
$level = input("Enter recursion level...", "0 = No recursion<crlf>1 = One level deep<crlf>...", 0);
//Check if the path needs to be altered, or simply update the recursion level
if !(regexmatches($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)")) { $ab = replace($ab, "/flat", "/md=$level:flat"); }
else { $ab = regexreplace($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)(\d*)", "$1$level"); }
goto $ab
Scripts to increase/decrease the recursion level by one:
Code: Select all
// Get path
$ab = tab("get", "term");
//Get recursion level from path and add 1
$level = replace(regexmatches($ab, "\d*(?=:flat)"), "|","") + 1;
//Check if the path needs to be altered, or simply update the recursion level
if !(regexmatches($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)")) { $ab = replace($ab, "/flat", "/md=$level:flat"); }
else { $ab = regexreplace($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)(\d*)", "$1$level"); }
goto $ab;
Code: Select all
// Get path
$ab = tab("get", "term");
//Get recursion level from path and subtract 1
$level = replace(regexmatches($ab, "\d*(?=:flat)"), "|","") - 1;
//Check level is not below 0
if $level < 0 { $level = 0; }
//Check if the path needs to be altered, or simply update the recursion level
if !(regexmatches($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)")) { $ab = replace($ab, "/flat", "/md=$level:flat"); }
else { $ab = regexreplace($ab, "(/md=|/maxdepth=)(\d*)", "$1$level"); }
goto $ab;
It's still necessary to manually activate the Branch view, but it should be possible to bypass it.
