Auto open empty dir

[Tylopilus]

When working in java projects you often end up with empty folders. Is there an option to automatically open all sub folders if the folder is empty?

Basically if I have a structure of:

• Folder 1
  • Folder 2
    • Folder 3
      • Folder 4
        • main.file

If I open Folder 1 it should automatically open down to folder 4 to expose main.file as folder 4 is the first non-empty folder (has more than 1 subfolder as a child)

This is nicely handled in vscode and I would like to have the same functionality in neo-tree. I am already using group_empty_dirs = true but that is only a visual change and still requires to open all empty folders.

Yes it is filesystem.scan_mode = "deep". Please read defaults.lua for better explanation as I'm on my phone right now.

Thanks so much! that does indeed work as expected but apparently group_empty_dirs=true must be set for it to take effect. Thanks for the quick help!

Thanks. This is the solution I was after.
