Some text editors offer a tree-view of the folders and files on the disk for easy opening. Some of those editors offer a condensed tree-view where folders that contain empty folders are displayed on a single line. e.g. Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ. Can Finder be made to display its folder view that way? Is there a Finder alt that can do it?
