Bug Summary
Issue was caused after #7679.
When searching for projects in the sidebar, directory trees are no longer shown and there is no way to view the full directory anymore.
I have directories because I use directories [sorting, categorize, some preset/sample libraries need attribution and I avoid using them in some projects, convenience, etc]
Considering the attribution case, I think users would actively benefit from directories being visible.
Users who don't want directories typically don't use directories.
You cannot tell if a file is in "Demos," or in a folder labelled "Do not remix," or in a folder called "corrupted versions," or your own project. You cannot tell if a kick sample is in a folder called "attribute these samples" or in a folder called "rock kit 80s" to pick samples from the same kit or easily pick certain samples, or if it is from a folder called "low quality samples".
Expected Behaviour
My directories that I decided to place in my own folder for my own organization are visible and organizing when I search.
Directories can be minimized and I can see my directories that I sorted my things into.
Steps To Reproduce
Create a file. Place a version of it inside a directory and one outside. Place both the file and the directory in your LMMS projects folder.
Search the folder. You cannot tell the difference between a file in a directory and a file outside it.
You now need to right-click on each file and see the nearly-invisible and unexpandable shortened-to-width filepath on each single entry to see the directory in which you yourself placed your own file.
You cannot even minimize large directories anymore!
???
Logs
No response
Screenshots / Minimum Reproducible Project
non-informative randomly ordered projects, repeated files/folders with no context, my own organization of files is disregarded
unusable invisible directory path that can be obtained from right-clicking each single result
extremely long result sets that cannot be minimized into directories
If I wanted results without directories I would place my files without directories.
If this is behaviour that anyone desires then users would benefit from a toggle between the old behaviour and new behavior.
