Description Stephan Ritscher 2010-11-09 12:37:11 UTC 
Hi,

especially when comparing large directory structures with few differences, it would be great to hide empty folders.

It is important to note the meaning of "empty". If does not mean that the directory does not physically contain any file (or directory) at all, but rather that the subtree starting at this directory does not contain anything which is displayed w.r.t. the current settings. So if only new and modified files are displayed, the directories which only contain unchanged files would not be displayed in the tree.

Cheers,
Stephan
