Hi, I'm wondering about the browser behavior in Photo Mechanic.

I have added a new folder from my last shooting to the harddrive with subfolder per camera.
Now I dragged the main folder into favourites, but the subfolders’s images not showing up, when I click on the enclosed "parent" folder.

Same behavior in the In the Navigator menu. I can't see the subfolders’s images unless iI click on them. Is it possible to change this behavior somewhere in the settings?

I have attached also screenshots from Lightroom and Capture One where you can toggle this behavior on or off.

Maybe I just have missed it. This function would be really helpful, specially if I come back from a shoot and want to apply the same metadata to all images in the folder / subfolder’s images at once.

right-clicking the folder in fav's shows me the context menu to open the folder subfolder with all images of all subfolders in a single view. (1st screenshot)

I also have the option to browse subfolders from within the favourites (2nd screenshot)

@Sven

Thanks for the feedback. Now I can work faster. I just wish this would be a bit more intuitive. This should be activated by default. Or at least an option in Settings to turn this on or off.
