Description
I'll very much like to see something like this implemented natively.
I have tried myself developing a plugin using the FileSystem to list all the files in a particular directory and all its subdirectories.
https://github.com/oskretc/fman-flatview
I got stuck on a few issues.
- Feels a bit slow, maybe I'm not using the best method to traverse all the files.
- I got entangled with url, schemas and paths
- I've implemented a Column called FullPath to display the actual path of the file, but for some reason, I don't get it right.
Don't think is ready for prime time.
I've only tried this in Win7

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked fman-flatview plugin and its use of FileSystem traversal, URL schemas, paths, and the FullPath column. Clarify how a native flat or branch view should behave, including performance and path display; done means the feature works across the relevant directory tree with correct full paths.
