Expand all subdirectories in list view
 

I've checked this & other sites. Nothing works. Installed Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar -- & Manjaro, Mint. Tried typing multiple asterisks (I assumed in the search box).

Need this in a file manager -- the functional equivalent of Mac Finder's COMMAND-click-on-triangle. CL tree/ls don't allow accessing individual files & closing selected subdirectories.

Any suggestions much appreciated !!

Maybe this is helpful

We have officially transitioned from the ridiculous to the sublime. Though this link certainly does show THAT dolphin has this capability, it does not show HOW to invoke it.

I have just tried all I can think of, as I did before my OP, including checking the manual. I guess the next step is just to hang myself. It seems like a logical progression.

But many thanks, sir, for your kind assistance.

if you have gnome3 probably you would need this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/8613...er-preferences
(so first run gnom-tweak-tool, enable application menu, next start nautilus and use that manu (upper right corner) to set preferences: Allow folders to expand

Sorry.

Gentoo linux + i3wm + freshly installed dolphin:

Maybe try installing/using 'tree' at the command line, you can send it through 'less' to see it in screen fulls.
