Is there a better way to navigate around the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel?

[SuperMan]

Navigating folders is one of the very few weaknesses that I have experienced in SC over the years (to this day it is my favorite screenshot program).

But it's very difficult and slow to navigate the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel.  Sometimes I need to move around the folder tree while using SC and I have to use my file manager because it's too hard to do in SC.  I have to navigate to the file in the file manager, then click on it to open the image in SC.  Then if I need to work on another image elsewhere on the tree I have to go back to my file manager and repeat the process.

I am sure I must have asked about this before maybe quite a few years ago and assume there is no better way to navigate.

However I don't remember asking so I thought I would try again.

Is there any way to make folder navigation easier right within SC such as showing the folder tree in the Thumbnail Panel instead of the thumbnails or some other way to navigate efficiently?  That would make it much faster and easier to move around.

Thanks for any help!

I use View >>> Screenshot Panel: Simple list on the left.
All screenshots are named and numbered by topics with "file name quick field"
All my screenshots are in subfolders in

c:\...\screenshots\
c:\...\screenshots\topic1
c:\...\screenshots\topic2
...

So it's really simple to navigate in only a few folders

Thanks for this!  I remember using this option years ago and forgot all about it!  Didn't see anything about it in Preferences (I see it now in 'Interface Options') and didn't spot it on the View menu when I looked at it.

Not quite as good as a tree, but a whole lot better for navigation than the thumbnails.  Good improvement... thanks again!
